The lawsuit is mentioned by [[Ruth Berkeley White|Ruth White]] in her book ''Questioned Will and Testament'' published in 1946, where she also [http://www.h-net.org/~bahai/diglib/books/U-Z/W/White_Ruth/QWT097.gif here on page 97], states that Julia publishes two magazines ''New History'' and ''The Caravan''. "Her four-story house is used to carry on the work, and these efforts have been crowned with enormous success.  In the first twelve years of the publication of ''The Caravan'', from 1933 until January 1945, 480 chapters were established in twenty-four countries, with a membership of 80,000."

It should be noted that the enormous collection of Bahai and New History Foundation material, including such artifacts as a lock of Baha'u'llah's hair, which Julie Chanler discusses in her autobiography, was acquired by the Baha'is of Wilmette, after the death of Ahmad Sohrab and Julie Chanler. According to Lili Townsend, Chanler's grand-daughter, in 2007 during a telephone conversation, stated her own mother, Elsie Benkard-Clarke had bestowed the papers on the NSA of Wilmette upon the representation that they would be made available to researchers. Mrs. Townsend went on to add that she didn't believe anything had ever been done with the papers and clearly had no idea what had happened to them.
