"Olcott and Blavatsky were technically founders of 
the TS. However when they were in-charge there was 
not much acceptance of Theosophy nor was
it internationally recognized organization. Blavatsky 
was told not to look into administration. She wrote 
some 3-4 books. Compare it with Annie Besant's work. 
Besant wrote some 300 books, she was incharge of
ES and administration of the Theosophical Society. 
Under her leadership Theosophical Society became truly 
international organization with recognition in many 
countries. Vast high quality literature was written
when she was leader which was appreciated around the 
world. Blavatsky became famous not because of her 
writing but because Annie Besant made TS internationally 
reputed organization and Blavatsky was technically
founder of it. So little fame which Blavatsky has is 
to much extent due to work of Annie Besant.
So although Annie Besant did not sign papers when 
TS was incorporated, practically Annie Besant was 
founder of the Theosophical Society."

One wonders why the Masters KH and M even wasted their
time using Blavatsky when they should have used Besant
instead!

But here is what the Masters said about Blavatsky:

"... imperfect as may be our visible agent — and often most 
unsatisfactory and imperfect she is — yet she is the best
available at present. . . . " The Mahatma Letters, 2nd edition, 
Letter 2.   

"This state of hers is [H.P.B.'s] intimately connected with her
occult training in Tibet, and due to her being sent out alone into 
the world to gradually prepare the way for others. After nearly a 
century of fruitless search, our chiefs had to avail themselves of 
the only opportunity to send out a European body. . . . " The 
Mahatma Letters, 2nd edition, Letter 26.   

"[H.P.B. is] a woman of most exceptional and wonderful endowments. 
Combined with them she had strong personal defects, but just as she 
was, there was no second to her living fit for this work. We sent 
her to America. . . . " The Mahatma Letters, 2nd edition, Letter 
45.    

". . . we employ agents — the best available. Of these for the
past thirty years the chief has been the personality known as H.P.B. 
to the world (but otherwise to us). Imperfect and very troublesome, 
no doubt, she proves to some, nevertheless, there is no likelihood 
of our finding a better one for years to come — and your
theosophists should be made to understand it. Since 1885 I have not 
written, nor caused to be written save thro' her agency, direct and 
remote, a letter or line to anybody in Europe or America, nor 
communicated orally with, or thro' any third party. Theosophists 
should learn it. 

You will understand later the significance of this declaration so 
keep it in mind. Her fidelity to our work being constant, and her 
sufferings having come upon her thro' it, neither I nor either of
my Brother associates will desert or supplant her. . . . This you 
must tell to all: — With occult matters she has everything to do.
... She is our direct agent. . . . " Letters from the Masters of 
Wisdom, Series 1, Letter 19.
