The Freemasons Monthly Magazine 1857 Vol 16 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Freemasons' Monthly Magazine, 1857, Vol. 16 The above is from the report of the committee of correspondence in the Grand Lodge of California, presented at the late annual communica tion of that Grand Body and is predicated on the address of the Grand Master 01' the Grand Lodge of this Commonwealth, December, 1855. The remark that btttfour reports were, in that year, received from the Dis triet Deputy Grand Masters, is certainly warranted by the terms of the address, and yet it docs not present the fact as it actually stood. 11 might have failed to do ao, had the precise words of the address been given, namely, l have received written reports from only four of the ten Dis triet Deputy Grand Masters. The reports referred to by the Grand Master were special and detailed reports, which he had, the year previous, requested the Deputies to make for his personal use, that he might thereby be enabled to lay before the Grand Lodge in his annual communication, more precise and particular information than he could otherwise do. Four only of the Deputies had complied with this request, in season for his purpose. It was this emission to which he referred, and intended to reprove. The usual reports and returns had, however, been made by all the Deputies before the address was delivered. But these did not give the details he wanted and had asked for.
