G. H. Fechner is mentioned in Mahatma Letter No. 18, on page 13--14:
I may answer you, what I said to G. H. Fechner one day, when he wanted to know the Hindu view on what he had written — "You are right; . . . 'every diamond, every crystal, every plant and star has its own individual soul, besides man and animal . . .' and, 'there is a hierarchy of souls from the lowest forms of matter up to the World Soul' . . .; but, you are mistaken when adding to the above the assurance that 'the spirits of the departed hold direct psychic communication with Souls that are still connected with a human body' — for, they do not."[1]
Charles J. Ryan, in an article in The Canadian Theosophist, sought to correct Mr. H. R. W. Cox's idea that the individual mentioned in the letter was psychologist Gustav Theodor Fechner.[2]
