To the Editor of the FREEMASON s CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —I have read with a groat deal of pleasure Bro . Whitehead ' s very able paper on this subject . I trnst he will not think I am intrusive if I suggest , that his sketch would be still more complete if he added a few words in recognition of the hearty sympathy exhibited towards the Craffc by one of the most
benevolent and beneficent ladies of this or any age . I allude to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts , whose father , the late Sir Francis Burdett , the distinguished politician of the earlier years of this century , was a member of onr Society , nnd whose consin , the present Sir Francis Burdett , is one of our most distinguished chiefs , being Grand Master and Grand Superintendent of Middlesex ; Prov . G . M . M . M . Middlesex
and Surrey ; a Member of the Snpreme Council A . and A . Eite , being Inspector-General of the South District , & c . It is not , however , on account of her father ' s and cousin ' s services to Freemasonry that I shonld rest the claim of the Baroness to rank amongst the few distinguished ladies whose names have been more or less intimately connected with onr Order , bnt because of the senerons kindness with
which she has ever regarded the Burdett-Coutts Lodge , No . 1278 , which was founded in 1869 , and received her express sanction for adopting her name as part of its style and title . As showing the interest she felt in the new Locige she presented to it a handsome copy of the Volume of the Sacred Law , which doubtless will be most carefully and religiously guarded by the Lodge so long as it has the
good fortune to retain its place on the roll of the Grand Lodge . Some few years later she presented a complete set of chairs for the Worshipful Master and Wardens of the Lodge , and the permission of His Eoyal Highness the Prince of Wales having been accorded for the purpose , the Baroness , accompanied by her cousin E . W . Bro . Sir F . Burdett , was received by the brethren , fully clothed and
assembled in Lodge , and the chairs were formally bestowed by her ladyship , a few suitable remarks being offered on her behalf by Sir Francis . Following on this was the reception by the Baroness , afc Holly Lodge , Highgate , of the members of the Lodge and their lady friends , while , as apart from these distinctive marks of her interest in the Lodge , and her approval of the principles of the Craft , it may be stated in general terms that she is continually making inquiries as
to the progress of tho Lodge , and evincing a kind and earnest wish for its continued prosperity . As it is most probable the Baroness Burdett-Ccufcts is the only English lady who has ever been present in a Lodge of Freemasonsthe brethren having , of course , been called off during her presence—I trust Bro . Whytehead will accept my suggestion that her ladyship ' s name should in f utnre figure in connection with his able paper . Fraternally yours , ¦
