638 ] FOREIGN PROVINCIAL ATHOL LODGES . My recent request for particulars of Old Warrants , & c , of Athol Lodges , has brought ma a Warrant from Bro . Joseph Nicholson , P . P . G . S . VV . Cumberland , which I have his permission to print , and , deeming it to be of general interest , I subjoin a copy . The lodge referred to in it , as warranted for Walmsley , in Halifax , Nova Scotia , was
numbered 14 on the Provincial Register , but it does not appear to have been returned to , or recognised by the English Athol Grand Lodge . In the Ahiman Uezons of 1 S 04 and 1807 there are numerous instances of such Provincial Lodges , with distinct provincial and consecutive
numbers . Halifax alone had 18 at work in 1 S 07 , the last lodge bearing the number 32 , showing that many had then lapsed . No . 14 does not appear in the lists given in Ahiman Rezon of 1804 or 1807 , and consequently it may fairly be assumed to have lapsed some time previous to 1804 . Will other brethren kindly follow Bro . Nicholson ' s good example ? I wantajy Athol documents prior to 1802 . JOHN LANE , P . M . 1402 , Torquay .
