Page 1 transcription, image, and notes
Sir, The night before last will prove a memorable one for you . . . You have alienated from yourself another brother — though a woman — and that, I am afraid, for ever. What possessed you to speak in the way you did of a friend, a woman, one to whom you owe all you know, and even the possibilities of the future — for she was the first to show you the way — is more than all the occult sciences are able to explain! . . . She went to Maha Sahib the same night and proved to him she had been all the time right and He wrong, . . . The Maha Sahib had nothing to say — neither have I or any of us, but to regret, and that very deeply, that want of discrimination and tact so prominent in a man of your intellect and sense.

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]
