'''[[Mahatma_Letters_that_HPB_kept|Mahatma Letters that HPB kept]]''' is a group of ten letters that have never before been published. These letters are mostly written from [[A. P. Sinnett]] to [[Mahatma|Mahatmas]] [[Koot Hoomi]] and [[Morya]], asking questions or responding to their previous letters, with brief notations by KH and M. Historically they fill gaps in the published correspondence like [[The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett (book)|''The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett'']], giving the other side of the conversation.
