In 1880 A. P. Sinnett, an Englishman living in India entered into correspondence with H. P. Blavatsky's Teachers, variously referred as, "The Brothers," "The Mahatmas," or "The Masters." This correspondence took place over the years 1880 to 1884, where A. P. Sinnett/Mr. Sinnett received many letters from two of the Mahatmas known as Morya and Koot Hoomi. The letters are now kept in the British Library, and were published by A. Trevor Barker in 1923 as a book entitled The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett from the Mahatmas M. & K. H..


Letters written by chelas

Master K.H. explained:

Another of our customs, when corresponding with the outside world, is to entrust a chela with the task of delivering the letter or any other message; and if not absolutely necessary — to never give it a thought. Very often our very letters — unless something very important and secret — are written in our handwritings by our chelas. Thus, last year, some of my letters to you were precipitated, and when sweet and easy precipitation was stopped — well I had but to compose my mind, assume an easy position, and — think, and my faithful “Disinherited”the”[the] had but to copy my thoughts, making only occasionally a blunder.[1]
