FREEMASONRY IN NORTH WALES AND SALOP .

To the Editor of THE FREEMASON ' S CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —It was with infinite pride and gratification that I read the article in your impression of the 14 th December nnder tho above head , bnt more especially so the concluding portion of it , in which you allude in such gracious and well merited terms to the services of our late dear departed Bro . Goldsboro P . G . S . Warden ,

of the Province of North Wales and Salop , and founder and twice W . M . of the Welshpool Lodgo . The high culogium yon have been pleased to confer npnn his many and enorg etio services in the Principality waa well deserved , and by no ono wore they more keenly appreciated and recognised than by Sir Watkin Williams Wynn , the revered Provincial Grand Master , who indeed felt honoured when Dr .

Goldsboro was numbered amongst tho sruesta at his hoapitable homo . You have spoken of the number of times that Bro . Goldsboro made journeys from London to Welshpool to attend to tho duties of his Lodge during the two years ho presided over it as W . M ., never on one single occasion being absent , but this indeed was a small amount of the work ho did for the benefit of Freemasonry in other parts of

the Kingdom , where he consecrated numerous Lodges and Chapters that are all now working and in a flourishing condition . In the Jordan Lodgo and Jerusalem Chapter he attained to the highest honours , and by the members of both he was loved aud esteemed . He was an honorary member of two other Lodges , and hia affable manners and genial disposition won tho goodwill of all . It is not

only as a Mason that Bro . Goldsboro a name will bo held in grateful remembrance , for as an eminent physician he was ever ready to answer any call that might be made npon him in the hour of trial and daneer , and very often without even a distant prospect of fee or reward , and on many occasions he even supplied from hia own purse the means for providing necessaries which some of his poor patients were unable to provide for themselves . Aa one who had tho honour

of Bro . Goldboro a intimate friendship , I personally thank you for your tribute to hia memory , and although he has departed from us I feel assured that hia name will be enshrined in the hearts of all who had the pleasure and honour of his acquaintance , and with a sincere wish that he may be greeted with the cheering welcome of " Well done , thou good and faithful servant , enter thou into the joy of thy Lord , " on his arrival at the portala of the Grand Lodge above , " where the World ' s Great Architect livea and reigns for ever . "

I am , Dear Sir and Brother , Faithfully yours , AMICUS .
