{{HPB-CW-comment|[Among the most valuable documents in the Adyar Archives are the many volumes of Colonel H. S. Olcott’s ''Diaries''. He was in the habit of writing down daily the occurrences of the day, to mention those whom he met and to recount briefly various events that were taking place at the time. He kept such Diaries at least from 1875 on, and almost to the time of his death in 1907. The ''Diaries'' of 1875-77 mysteriously disappeared years ago, and the Colonel had no idea what could have become of them. For this reason, the ''Diaries'' for the year 1878 are the first ones available. They are especially interesting because they are the only ones in which H.P.B. wrote. In those days, Col. Olcott had to absent himself on business rather frequently, and during his absences, H.P.B. made all kinds of entries in his ''Diary''. When he returned, he resumed writing himself. The 1878 ''Diary'' gives a vivid picture of the life of H.P.B. and Col. Olcott in the last year of their stay in America, before embarking for India.}} | {{HPB-CW-comment|[Among the most valuable documents in the Adyar Archives are the many volumes of Colonel H. S.
