May 30 , 134 . 1 . SIR AND BROTHER , —Well knowing the interest you take in the proposed increase of contribution to the Fund of Benevolence , I herewith send you a copy of some resolutions passed at a P . G . L ., held at Plymouth on the 24 th ult ., which have been sent to the Master of every Lodge in this province . It is my duty to inform you that this Lodge have rejected the recommendation to oppose an increase , and its members
sincerely wish success to the motion . You may not be aware that the Humber Lodge have followed the example of the P . G . L of Devon , as you will also see by the enclosed circular . Are you of opinion that we can render any assistance by coming up , at our own expense , to mark our sense of the impropriety of these circulars ? A BROTHER OF DEVON . (_ Our reply was that our Brother should follow the dictates of his own conscience ; that we considered the motion to be virtually lost , as there was not time to disabuse the provinces of the error into which they hacl fallen . —En . " ]

June 12 . Sin AND BROTHER , —I regret having not been in time made acquainted with the true nature of Dr . Crucefix ' s motion , or I would not have been found in the ranks of opposition to it ; all I can now do is to endeavour to disabuse the minds of the Somerset Brethren , being satisfied that no unfair advantage was intended . I consider , however , that the law should be amended , and the Grand Secretary be compelled to act with greater promptitude . A PAST PROV . GRAND OFFICER .

June 10 , 1845 . SIR AND UROTHER , —The painful regret at the rejection of that admirable motion for pensions to Masonic widows will be shared by great numbers of thinking Brethren , who saw in the charitable project the elements of great goocl . Both Kentish Brethren ancl Brethren of Kent are alarmed at the result , ancl will now step forward and rescue tbe Craft from that effect of mere physical force that may at any time , by an intemperate circularbe brought to bear against a confirmation of a
mo-, tion previously passed by a considerable majority , as acknowledged by the Grand Master on the throne ; and what is worthy of consideration passed in the presence of the Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Devor , who did not address Grand Lodge against the motion ? I listened vey attentively to the arguments against the motion , but could disco'er neither reason or judgment ; all I could gather in explanation of-he unmasonic rejection wasthat the executive delayed iving informaton
, g , and so , instead of vigorously passing a vote of censure on off ' enling parties , the provincial Brethren contented themselves with preveiting the aged widow from participating in the benefits of Freemasonry As a subscriber to your Review , I address you with great anxiety . —Do as you please with my letter . A BROTHER OF FENT .
