TO THE EDITOE OE THE EHEEMASONs' MAGAZINE AND MASONIO MIEKOE . Dear Sir and Brother , —I have recently received a letter from the Prince Rhodocanakis in regard to the two Giustinianis , about whom enquiry was made in the pages of the Freemason ' s Magazine . This enquiry , bearing , as it does , upon the alleged descent of the Masonic Red Cross Order from tho Abbe Giustiniani , is not inappropriate to your pages , and I therefore

explains now , what to me appeared a mystery , why he , a member of the House of Giustiniani , so ferven tly defended the claims to the Grand Mastership of the Supreme Constantinian Order of the Knights of St .
