Dear Brigitte,

As I look closely at Rawson's testimony in order to answer some of 
Steve's remarks, I am reminded of a comment made by you which reads 
in part:

". . . it was a spirit guide, is said by theosophical writers to have 
really showed up in Blavatsky's life during certain travels 
accompanied by Albert Rawson., however a closer look at this shows 
that .Rawson as he himself publicly told a group meeting of th.. was 
at the time in jail for steeling, so he could not have been 
travelling with HPB, or HPB with him for that matter."

Brigitte, this appears to me a very significant statement.

What year or years are you referring to when you write that 
Rawson "could NOT have been travelling with HPB, or HPB with him for 
that matter"? Caps added.

Furthermore, on WHOSE testimony is it based that Rawson and HPB were 
traveling during this year or years? In other words, on what SOURCE
are the "theosophical writers" relying?

And finally, what is the documentation for showing that "Rawson as he 
himself publicly told a group meeting of the... was at the time in 
jail...."?

I'm still hoping that you will reproduce verbatim the NY World 
extract about HPB taking a drug, etc. This will help me answer your 
question about this particular citation.
