To The Editor.
As soon as I received the Grand Lodge circular , I hastened with two other members of my Lodge to London , but could not obtain a hearing ; and , with your permission , I protest thus publicly not only against the proceedings of the 4 th , but against the assumption , that all Devon are opposed to equal dues on so important a subject as annuities to widows . We have been deceived by the delay of the Grand Secretary , and still more so bthe advantage taken of such delay . Was our Deputy
Proy vincial Grancl Master at the Grand Lodge in March ? If so , why did he not then move an amendment ? or why did he sanction the term " casual information" in the Devon circular , when he , being present , could have explained the TRUE state of the case . Is this Masonry ? Since my return I find many are of my opinion . DEVONENSIS .

TO THE EDITOR .
June 12 , 1815 . SIR AND BROTHER , —1 am not one of those who would oppose a eharitabje motion , but must , confess that I am not satisfied with the conduct of the Grand Lodge generally ; we in the provinces seldom hear of measures until they become laws . We may write again and again without receiving any reply . Indeed we often inquire among ourselves , after such repeated insults , in what do the duties of the Grand
Secretary ' s department consist—is it merely a place for the receipt of custom , and the disregard of all courtesy ? What is our remed y ? I beg , however , not to be numbered among the dissentients against the motion that was rejected on the 4 th instant , and in this request you may reckon many that entertain similar opinions . BRISTOLIENSIS . [ The remedy lies in an alteration in the law ; the railroad now brings
distances into close affinity ; and as the provincial Brethren have succeeded so effectually on one subject , let them try their hand at legislation—they may improve , but cannot well injure the Constitutions of 184 L—ED . ]

June 7 , 1815 . SIR AND BROTHER , —I am just returned home , after a specimen of railroad travelling to the Grand Lodge . I was one who " went to scoff , but remained to pray "—few words will suffice—if my regret is great at the rejection of the motion , made by one of the best friends to the provinces , for such 1 find he ever has been , my gratification is the more sincere from having seen him nobly standing forth and announcing his determination to moot the subject again and again . Let him only make
tie provinces acquainted with the entire case , aud he will in time succeid . There are in the northern provinces a sufficient number of Brethren who ivill rally under the banner of charity—all we require is explanation , A LIVERPOOL MASON .
