TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —I am one of those who are honoured by her Majesty ' s commission , and have just returned from one of the most important colonies , the Cape of Good Hope , where I have learned the principles of Freemasonry , and feel it my duty to protest against the degrading slur attempted to be cast on the brothers who sojourn , but for a time , and who are made to appear as desirous to have the period of probation limited . The truth is quite otherwise ; for had the
probationary time been extended , certain it is that both discipline and practice would have been improved . As a soldier-Mason I entreat of you not to relax in your praiseworthy endeavours to protect the honour and dignity of Freemasonry , which has been sadly compromised by those who , being in power , have shamelessly abused the trust reposed in them . A LOYAL MASON . London , March 11 , 1848 .

TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —One thing now only remains for us in the provinces , viz .: —at once to memorialize Grand Lodge to allow us the same privilege granted to the colonies , and at the same time to reduce the fees accordingly . How in the name of wonder English Freemasonry can withstand the attack on its dignity is a problem that will soon be solved . A BROTHER OF THIRTY YEARS STANDING . Newcastle-on-Tyne , March 17 , 1848 .
To The Editor.
TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —I had prepared a lengthy letter , but I prefer one sentence . The Grand Master has willed that English Masonry shall be disgraced in its working , and that the grant to the widows of Masons shall not be confirmed . Why not limit the period of his own further probation ? A CHESHIRE MASON .
To The Editor.
TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —It may not be generally known that so far from admiring the Scottish mode of making , we usually pass and raise over again such members of the Grand Lodge of Scotland who are desirous of joining . A LIVERPOOL MASON .
