The first public disclosure of some of this material occurred in 1889 while H.P. Blavatsky was
alive and residing in London. Some of the KH text appeared in an article titled "Judge the Act: Not the Person - Adepts and Mediums" (which was written by Jasper Niemand---pseudonym of Julia Ver Planck) and published in The PATH (New York), July 1889, pp. 102-103).

Julia Ver Planck also wrote three more articles in the August 1889, August 1890
and September 1890 issues of THE Path in which
she quoted more material from these same Koot Hoomi documents. See the following three articles.

Some of the material from the KH Commentaries were also used in March 1891 in the following document.
Under Mme. Blavatsky's instruction, William Q. Judge started a periodical for the American Esoteric School students titled: "Suggestions and Aids." In the March 1, 1891 issue of "S & A", one finds that one of HPB's esoteric groups had written a paper titled: THE SEVEN WORLDS. See links below which show the relevant pages from this particular "Suggestions and Aids".

This First Edition of Instruction No. V is signed by both Annie Besant and William Q, Judge.
The following three documents contain Master Koot Hoomi's detailed instructions on concentration and meditation on the Higher Self.

Master Koot Hoomi on Meditation.
This document is preserved among the papers of Alice Leighton Cleather at The H.P.B. Library in Canada.
In 1897, Mrs, Cleather wrote to a correspondent that she had been a member of the Inner Group.
She also said I.G. members were given extracts from various letters of the Masters and HPB. This letter
on meditation may be one of the extracts given to Inner Group members.

C. J. Ryan, who wrote the book "HP Blavatsky and the Theosophical
Movement - Historical Sketch" (published in different editions by
both Theosophical University Press and Point Loma Publications), also had
a copy of the "KH Commentaries" material and at the end of Ryan's copy, one reads:
"(Copied from a letter of [triangle of 3 dots] K.H. in the
possession of W.Q.J." Also see Ryan's handwritten note.
The Charles Ryan Manuscript.
The following document was found among William Judge's papers preserved in the TS Pasadena archives. Compare it to the Ryan version.
