To the Right Worshipful Charles Kemeys Kemeys Tgnle , M . P ., Grand Master ofthe Province of Somerset , § c . Right Worshipful Sir and Brother , —It is with feelings of no common attachment that we ( the Lodge of Unanimity and Sincerity ) at this time desire to employ one of the noblest characteristics of our Craft ,
that of offering solace to a Brother in affliction ; although we are most anxious at all opportunities to convey to you assurances of our profound respect , unfeigned gratitude , and warm personal regard , yet we would have supplicated the Almighty Architect of the Universe , and the Most High disposer of his creatures , to have averted so distressing an occasion for exercising this hallowed duty .
Permit us , Right Worshipful Sir , to assure you that we have witnessed with great emotion the affliction which has so long overwhelmed you , and we have offered our anxious prayers for your RELIEF in unsuspected TRUTH , in ardent BROTHERLY LOVE , in equal SINCERITY as UNANIMITY . We have deeply felt the manifest anguish that has wrung
the kindest of hearts whdst discharging your fraternal and valued duties , and now as Brother Masons we crave the melanchol y indulgence of mingling our heartfelt sympathies in a bereavement which no parent can have more acutely felt—few , with such abundant reason . We can offer no subject of condolence that has not already presented itself to a mind long exercised in all the most exemplary duties of
humanity , but we feel that it is at least some consolation in the severity of your affliction to turn to the blessings that surround you , which we trust will long be continued to you in progressive augmentation . We would again repeat our assurances of affectionate interest and true fraternal regard , and in the best Masonic feeling we request you to accept the same from us , your brethren of the Lodge of Unanimity
and Sincerity . Allow us soon again the advantage of your active energies , and the comfort of your acceptable presence in dispensing the manifold duties which are attached to the high office held by you , so much to the best interests of our invaluable institution , and the well doing of that portion of the Craft whose privilege it is to recognize you , Right Worshipful Sir , as their guardian and director .
Signed at the unanimous request , and on behalf of the LODGE OF UNANIMITY AND SINCERITY , NO . 327 . Lodge Room , Sweet ' s Hotel , Taunton . EALES WHITE . W . M ., Prov . J . G . W . October 10 , 1834 , The following is the eloquent apply to the address , abounding in pious sentiment and truly Masonic feeling .
