Why be selfish? If there are things to learn, things to see, things good to know for the future of man, why not give a chance equally with yourself to another? If your aversion to . . . is so great that the moment has come when you . . . crave for solitude, then with the exceptions of a few quarters of an hour a day you will be alone. I will take care and Damu that M.T. does not annoy you . . . M.T. is my countryman and I wish him to get his chance equally with yourself. As soon as H.P.B. receives telegram, go.

Publication history

Commentary about this letter

Mr. Jinarājadāsa provided this foreword on the series of letters numbered 28-45:

I have arranged the letters which follow, so far as possible, in the order in which they were received. On some, Colonel Olcott has made a memorandum of the date. For others, I have been able to get the date from his Diaries. There are a few, however, of which I am fairly certain as to the year, because of the first script of Master M. referred to already [see Morya:Writing style], but there is no indication anywhere as to the month. Some of the letters bear no signature.[2]
