According to Readers Guide to The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett:
Scott, Ross, a young Irishman and British civil servant who was on his way to his post in North India when he met the Founders aboard ship in February 1879, as they were sailing to Bombay (ODL 2: 16-17). KH asked APS to make friends with him (ML, p. 282). APS considered him coarse fibered. Ross received a letter from M in the late fall of 1881 (LBS x-c). He became the first secretary of the Simla Eclectic TS on August 21, 1881. M asked APS to discuss certain things with Scott. Apparently he had an injured leg which the Mahatmas promised HPB they would cure if Scott passed the six months probation on which he had been placed. HPB was told by the Mahatmas to try to find a suitable wife for him - certainly one of the strangest things in the Letters. He married Minnie Hume, only daughter of AOH, on December 8, 1881 (LBS, p. 15). It appears that he failed his probation, partially because of his wife's attitude toward the Adepts. Later, he became a magistrate in the Central Provinces. ML index; D, p. 645; LBS, p. 44. [1]
