{{HPB-CW-comment|[In H.P.B.’s Scrapbook, Vol. I, the above article is pasted on page 5, in three separate columns, together with the Press Cutting mentioning her arrival at the Eddy Homestead on Oct. 14, 1874, as may be seen on the accompanying illustration. H.P.B.’s comment at the top of the page reads:]}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|The curtain is raised. — H.S.O.’s acquaintance on October 14, 1874, with H.P.B. at Chittenden. H. S. Olcott is a — Rabid Spiritualist, and H. P. Blavatsky is an occultist — one who laughs at the supposed agency of Spirits! (but all the same pretends to be one herself).}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|[To the date of the article H.P.B. added in pen and ink: 1874; and she also wrote the following footnote under column 3:]}} | |||
<nowiki>#</nowiki>They may be the portraits of the dead people then repro . . . . . (they certainly are not Spirits or Souls) yet a real . . . . . nomenon produced by the Elementaries. H.P.B. | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|[The sign introducing the footnote is missing in the actual article; there are, however, blue underlinings and quotation marks in connection with the word “spirits,” in the 4th and 5th paragraphs of the text, made by H.P.B., and to which her footnote may refer.]}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-SB-reference|1:44|1:6-7}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|[In H.P.B.’s Scrapbook, Vol. I, pp. 6-7, where the above article is pasted, H.P.B. added in pen and ink under her signature:]}} | |||
So much in defence of phenomena, as to whether these Spirits are ghosts is another question. | |||
{{Style P-Signature|H.P.B.}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-SB-reference|1:44|1:7-8}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|[In H.P.B.’s Scrapbook, Vol. I, pp. 7-8, there is a cutting from The Daily Graphic of November 1874, which deals with the visit of a Mr. Brown, the “mind reader,” to the Eddys’ Homestead. Mr. Brown relates how one of the “spirits” brought to H.P.B. one of the decorations which had belonged to her father, and says that “Madame was overwhelmed with gratitude.”}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|H.P.B. underlined the word overwhelmed and added at the end of the article in pen and ink:]}} | |||
Overwhelmed—be switched! . . . . not my father’s pet, if you please. H. P. Blavatsky is never “overwhelmed.” | |||
{{HPB-CW-SB-reference|1:45|1:8}} | |||
{{HPB-CW-comment|[In Scrapbook, Vol. I, p. 8, the account of Mr. Brown is followed immediately by an article entitled “Unpractical Spirits,” presumably also from The Daily Graphic. It is signed with the initials “I.F.F.” which obviously stand for Irvin Francis Fern. H.P.B. added the following remarks in pen and ink:]}} | |||
Bravo! Irvin Francis Fern—a great Occultist. He IS RIGHT but we have to defend phenomena & prove it too before we teach them philosophy. | |||
