One of them has put the whole thing on record, for the instruction of the younger members of the Society now and in centuries to come.

The movement began, as you know, closely watched over, constantly protected by those two who had taken this burden of responsibility upon Themselves.

And you may read in many of H.P.B.'s letters, how continual in those days was the touch, how constant the directions; and it went on thus year after year--for the first seven years at least of the Society's life, and a little more; you may read in the issue of the _Theosophist_ (June) a letter from one of these same Teachers, showing how close was the interest taken, how close the scrutiny which was kept up in all the details of the Society's work.

In publishing that letter I thought it only right to strike out the names which occur in the original.

It would not be right or fair to print those publicly yet, as you can perfectly well see when you are able to supply the blanks which are left for names.
You may read in that letter how the Master who wrote it had been watching the action of a particular branch, how He had marked in connection with another branch some of the members of the branch who were working ill or not well; how He pointed out that such-and-such members would be better out of the branch than in it, were hinderers rather than helpers--all going to show how close was the watch which They then kept upon the branches of Their infant Society.
