Besant, Annie

Annie Besant thanks a Mrs. [Mawsou?] from Ashfield, Gateshead-on-Tyne in England for sending a pamphlet. "I am so busy [that] I am afraid I cannot find time to read the larger work of which you speak," as Besant explains.

Laura Windust writes Esther Windust and asks her to contradict rumors that Annie and Col. Olcott had any differences. Laura also mentions Piet's malaria and shares the news of Mr. Oakley's death.

Laura Windust informs Piet that the section will be taking over the house in order to free Annie Besant entirely from monetary responsibilities.

Alfred Sinnett responds to Mrs. Esther Windust's question regarding a portrait of Madame Blavatsky.
