Dear Konstantin,

There is a difference between private letters and public texts.

Both quotations are accurate, yet the nature of the texts and
the approaches in them are very different.

Carlos.

Your quotations are (as always) very selective.

The letter you have quoted is of 1885, and this is what she
wrote at the end of 1886.

... President-Founder is alone to work and toil with a few
devoted theosophists at Adyar to assist him.

...
For, if theosophy is anywhere practised on this globe, it is
at Adyar, at the Head-Quarters.

...
At Adyar alone, at the Head-Quarters of the Theosophical Society, the
Theosophists are that which they ought to be everywhere else: true
theosophists and not merely philosophers and Sophists. In that
centre alone are now grouped together the few solitary, practically
working
Members, who labor and toil, quietly and uninterruptedly, while those
Brothers for whose sake they are working, sit in the dolce far niente
of the West and criticise them.
