1- Dear Gregory

Thanks very much for the extremely deep information on CWL´s recording, you seem to fly in information that the majority of us wouldn´t have access if it were´nt by many writings through internet.
You have made an outstanding research to do the edition of your book.
I enjoyed the precision of the data.
I gess if it were´nt due to the development of this electronic mailing much of what we see and read today would only be possible if participating ina congress, a conclave or something in international level.
That´s why I have so much respect for this media/comunity which sometimesmakes me aggressive and kinda angry when I see that we are trading crap talking instead of useful and mind-growing subjects.
Alright, ok...sometimes we have to relax...

2- A question to Mr. Tillet if no one has ever made it.

Under all these researches that produced the book The Elder Brother, what feeling has grown in yourself towards him?Any admiration and affection for the character ?
Was the object of the book to desmistify any aura around the character?

Thanks for the attention.

Subject: Theos-World Leadbeater recording



The recording of two talks by Leadbeater - "To those who mourn" and "The 
Great White Brotherhood" - was made in Sydney in 1932 by Columbia 
Gramophone (Aust) Pty Ltd on a 78rpm gramophone record (Reference PR.39, 
Part (= side) 1: SX.84, Part 2: SX.85), and was sold locally for five 
shillings. It does not seem to have been a commercial recording since the 
record label (apart from the printed Columbia data) is typewritten. I 
assume it was recorded either at the Columbia studios in Sydney, or at 
radio station 2GB (= "Giordano Bruno" for Annie Besant who claimed to 
have been Burno in a previous life) which was then owned and operated by 
the Theosophical Society, and originally had its transmitter in the 
grounds of The Manor. I do not know how many records were pressed, or 
what happened to the original master disk. I have one of the original 
records, and a tape recording made from it by the Australian Broadcasting 
Corporation using modern filtering technology to enable the voice to be 
more clearly heard. I do not know of any other recordings of Leadbeater, 
although he broadcast on a number of occasions over 2GB and his last act 
as a bishop in Australia (the consecration of his successor as Liberal 
Catholic Regionary Bishop of Australia) was broadcast on the station 
(essentially because Leadbeater was too ill to participate in a service 
in St Alban's Cathedral, and the consecration took place in the small 
chapel at The Manor).
Pathe Gazette filmed Leadbeater and others at the dedication of the Star 
Amphitheatre at Balmoral (a harbourside suburb of Sydney) but my efforts 
to track down a copy of the film (used as a segment on a newsreel) have 
thus far been unsuccesful.
