LODGE OF FREEDOM . TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC M Dear Sir and Brotheb , —Notwithstanding the well-deserved character your Magazine enjoys , as being an exceedingly faithful reporter of all Masonic proceedings allowed to be published , I find an error has crept into your report of the proceedings at the annual festival of the Lodge of Freedom , No . 91 , held on the
20 th of July , at Gravesend , which I feel sure you will be happy to correct . It is there sta , ted that the ceremony of initiation was performed by Bro . Spencer on Bro . Froud and myself the error being again repeated towards the close of the same paragraph . Now , as it is my fervent hope that my memory may ever be kept green as to the able and impressive manner in which the W . M .. Bro . Watson ,
Prov . G . S . B ., initiated myself and Bro . Froud , and feeling sure that I shall ever feel ^ p leasurable debt of obligation to him , not only for that gracious act , but also for his ha ^ ng been the means of introducing both of us , as well as many others , to the-enjoyment of the beauties and sublimities of Freemasonry—I trust you will kindly allow me an opportunity of correcting an error , at once trifling yet important , in your next . —I am , dear Sir , Yours faithfully and fraternally , 23 , Newton-street , Hoxton , N ., W . Hester . August 8 th , 1857 .
CANONBURY LODGE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS * ' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . My dear Sir and Brother , —My duty frequently calls me far from my Lodge both in England and abroad . I have , therefore , had opportunities of visiting a great many Lodges , and during my career as a Mason I never , until the appearance of Bro . Bonn ' s letter in your last , heard the fact of a candidate
being under preparation alleged as a reason for refusing admission to a strange Brother , if found worthy . Allow me , therefore , to suggest to the members of the Canonbury , and such other Lodges as may be in the habit of preparing candidates in the Tyler ' s ante-chamber—that the practice is an objectionable one at all times , but especially so when , as we find by Bro . Bohn ' s letter , it was made an
excuse for an act of ( to say the least of it ) incivility to a visiting Brother—and that it is much better for Lodges to have a distinct convenient room for that purpose . —I am , dear Sir and Brother , Most truly and fraternally , Dublin , Royal Barracks , 18 th Aug ., 1857 . A"M . M . "
TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIIRR 0 R . Dear Sir and Brother , —In concluding the correspondence on this subject , allow me to say the efforts of myself and my friends have been exerted to carry it on in a truly Masonic spirit , as evinced by the fact that I placed the matter in the hands of friends to prevent its getting beyond Masonic bounds , and I leave now the Craft to judge between us , with the following remarks .
I cannot blame the Tyler , if a candidate was in preparation , for keeping ^ me waiting outside , for , under similar circumstances / I should have done the game )
