positively refusings to answer any letter on the subject except through your columns , and the first paragraph of my letter to you will show the reluctance with which I availed myself
I am quite satisfied that your readers will forgive me , and will not , like Bro . Bohn , attribute to me a violation of the spirit of fraternal kindness , in taking up the defence of a Brother whose character had been so unjustly aspersed . - ; : I ' remain , ¦¦ '¦ :. ¦ ¦ . Yours faithfully and fraternally ,

LODGE PERSEVERANCE , BOMBAY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS * MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Sir and Brother , —My absence from Bombay during last February and part of March , prevented my seeing your January number when it first came out , and it is only this day that it has met my eye . In it I observe another letter from 4 . I cannot and will not reply to any man who still shields the mis-statements which
he makes and the calumnies which he utters , under an anonymous signature , after t have challenged him in my own name to authenticate what he advances . I may , however , state for the information of your readers , that the petitions and a-ppeals against the authority of the Prov . G . M . and Prov . Grand Lodge of Western India , from a small portion of the members of Lodge " Perseverance , " to the Grand
Lodge of Scotland , —framed after the majority of the old Brethren of the Lodge had been driven from its precincts by the sad proceedings within , —have been , in every instance , emphatically dismissed by the Grand Lodge of Scotland ; and that the principal petitioners ( your correspondent 4 , I fancy , amongst them ) have been suspended from Masonic privileges dne die .
Lodge " Perseverance" is now once more working in harmony , as it did until the late W . M . was elected on my relinquishing office in December , 1855 . —I am , Sir and Brother , yours fraternally , Henry L . Cartwright , Bombay , 26 ^ June , 1857 . Prov . G . M . of Western India .
PROVINCE OF KENT . . ' i ¦ TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIRROR . Sir and Brother , — " Facts are stubborn things , " and require a more powerful agent-than man can devise to overthrow their truths . That they are sometimes very unpalatable is evinced by a letter from " P . M . and Z . " of Warwick , in answer to one which appeared in the July number of the Freemasons Magazine , from
" One who has respect for the Chair , " and I cannot refrain from expressing my conviction that an apology would have been more in keeping with the principles of Masonry than a defence founded upon evasion and sophistry . Destitute indeed must the writer have been of matter to sustain his argument , to be compelled to invoke the aid of poverty for support . I am at a loss to understand what there is in my letter showing " a lamentable want of brotherly love and
charity , or reflecting anything but credit on the writer . " Is it not the duty of every Mason to judge with candour , admonish with friendship , and reprehend with mercy ? It is strictly enjoined in the charge of a Fellow-Craft . The genuineness of the authority no one can deny . " The fact of not dining at a Prov . Grand Lodge banquet ( abstractly ) means no disrespect to the Master of a province . " But , the fact of several Brethren , three of whom were either past or present Prov . Grand Officers , and who also attended the ceremonial ,
