I wish the Rev. may get it . . . Anyhow, the Reverend fraud may go to his Christian Hell first. Hindu women will no more listen to female flapdoodle humbugs thanks to the male cheats, who like Scudder go about deceiving the “heathen”—far less heathen than themselves.

{{HPB-CW-comment|[In her {{SB-page|v=10|p=9|text=''Scrapbook'', Vol. X, p. 9}}, H. P. B. pasted a proof of the cover for the forthcoming ''Theosophists'', and wrote under it as follows:]}}

Olcott: “The miracle is not in that you converted the Editor of ''The Pioneer'' to Theosophy . . . But it would be a ''miracle'' indeed, were you to convert ''The Pioneer'' itself to speak against an Englishman and in defence of a ''native''.” Below this, with a hand pointing to it, H.P.B. has written in pen and ink:]}}
Effect of Theosophy, and our answer. The “miracle” accomplished.
