Better send for Mr. and Mrs. Sinnett as soon as you can. A general consultation is necessary. His [Sinnett's] own reputation is at stake [in this Coulomb expose in India]. I will make his visit harmless. He is a changed man.

Context and background
Concerning this letter from the Master, Mrs. Holloway wrote:
This letter was addressed 'to L.C.H.' --- 'Read this and show it to no one. K.H.' It was on two pages. . . .
I disobeyed this instruction, and instead of doing as directed I went to Madame Blavatsky's room, handed her the letter and told her I declined to receive from Mr. Sinnett any letter, or to speak to him again on the subject of the Masters or their letters.
She made no reply, and I left her presence. The next morning when I went downstairs prepared to start on my journey [for London], I was amazed to learn that Madame Blavatsky was going with us. A maid was hurriedly packing her boxes, and Mrs. Gebhard told me she could not prevail upon her to wait and come back with the Sinnetts. It was impossible to do more than complete my own preparations --- then to take leave of my host and hostess, and Mr. Sinnett, and to depart with Rudolph [Gebhard] and Madame Blavatsky for Cologne. . . . " (From an unpublished autobiographical manuscript by Mrs. Holloway.)[1]
