This certainly doesn't sound like HPB.  The tone is too insipid for her.

Monday.

My dear Mme. Coulomb,

Last night, Sunday, I wanted to show my friends a phenomenon and 
sent a cigarette tied up with my hair to be placed opposite Watson's 
hotel in the coat-of-arms (under the Prince of Wales' statue) under 
the horn of the Unicorn. Captain Maitland had himself chosen the 
town and named the place. He spent 13 Rs. for a telegram to Police-
Commissioner Grant, his brother-in-law. The latter went the moment 
he received it and—found NOTHING. It is a dead failure but I do not 
believe it, for I saw it there clearly at 3 in the morning. I am 
sorry for it for Captain Maitland is a Theosophist and spent money 
over it. They want to tear the cigarette paper in two and keep one 
half. And I will choose the same places with the exception of the 
Prince's statue for our enemies might watch and see the cigarette 
fall and destroy it. I enclose an envelope with a cigarette paper in 
it. I will drop another half of a cigarette behind the Queen's head 
where I dropped my hair the same day or Saturday. Is the hair still 
there? and a cigarette still under the cover? Oh Dio Dio! What a 
pity . . . .
                  Your faithfully,
                  H. P. B.

(Note on the flyleaf) Make a half cigarette of this. Take care of 
the edges.
