litoplSa:s0iTic|iTsti.tati0)tfor(Sirk TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE . BHOTHMH , —The Secretaryship of the Uoyal Masonic Institution for Girls having become vacant by the lamented death of Bro . tt . AV . Little , I aspire to become his successor . It would be presumptuous in me to suppose that I possess the many qualifications which distinguished tho late Secretary , qualifications so eminent ns to havo raised the Institution to a position higher than even the expectations of its most sanguine supporters could havo anticipated ; I nevertheless possess two qualifications which justify me in offering my services—viz ., primeness of manhood and energetic willingness . My Masonic career has been comparatively short , but I have seen and dona some service in the Craft . I was initiated in the Canonbury Lodge , 657 , in 1 SG 7 , and became its AV . M . in 1871 . I attended for some time the sittings of the Board of Benevolence ns one of the elected Members , and havo served Stewardships to tho Royal Benevolent Institution and tho Boys' School . I am likewise Secretary to the Sunbury Lodge , No . 173 : ! , holding its meetings at Sunbury , Middlesex . I was born in 1811 , of English parents residing in Paris , and was educated at the then Lyceo Bonaparte . I distinguished myself as a prizeman at my Lycee , which I on several occasions represented with honour nt the competitions of the Sorbonno . Before leaving the University I graduated Bachelor of Sciences . Meanwhile , ami for some time after , I assisted my father in tho preparation of a French and English Dictionary , and in revising for tho press several class books and translations of English and French works . In the year 18 ( il I came to England , and have since that timo been engaged in the business of a law stationer . My scholastic attainments are a thorough knowledge of French , English , Latin , and Mathematics . I havo an intimate acquaintance with the Institution . Having been privl * legedon many occasions to visit tho School , I haye made the acquaintance of the educational executive , and highly appreciate the system ' . adopted , and tho anxious endeavours of the House Committee to render the establishment a success . Should I obtain the position I seek , my best exertions shall bo devoted to promoting the prosperity of the Institution , and my whole timo given to increase , and render permanent , the advantages now offered to the pupils . I havo the honour to bo , Brethren , Yours faithfully and fraternally , AVILLIAM CLIFTON CRICK . 102 Chancery Lane , April , 1878 .
