Context and background
Mr. Jinarajadasa provided these notes about this letter:
Transcribed from the original at Adyar. This brief note comes in a letter sent by H.P.B. on 17 July 1883, from Ootacamund, Nilgiri Hills, to Mr G. Soobiah Chetty in Madras, in which she sends him an invitation to visit her in the hills. The main part of the letter refers to Mr G. Muttuswamy Chetty, a judge of the Small Causes Court of Madras, and father of Mr G. Soobiah Chetty. Mr Muttuswamy Chetty received in Tamil a letter, posted at Amritsar, from the Master K.H., the translation of which, I am informed, was as follows: ‘Sinnett’s paper is the only saviour for India. You must work towards it. Koot Hoomi.’ On receipt of this, Mr Muttuswamy Chetty tried among his friends to raise something towards the capital required for The Phoenix newspaper (see Letter 14). He was not, however, successful.[2]
