TO THE EDITOR .
Bingham , Jan . 2 , ISM ; . DEAII SIR AND BROTHER , —I have been a subscriber to the Masonic Quarterly Review from its commencement to the present period , and must confess I have been under considerable apprehensions that through the instrumentality , to use the most charitable construction , of a few unworthy members , its discontinuance might have been accomplished . Your last publication I received last night with its cheering contentsas
, from information I received the last time I attended a Masonic festival as P . P . G . J . AV . of our province , I was given to understand that in all probability the next number that I should receive would be the last ; I therefore reluctantly anticipated the result , and have been happily relieved from my anxiety in the perusal of the contents of the present number . I have enjoyed many many happy hours , and derived much useful Masonic information from the perusal of its valuable contents , more
especially from the triumph obtained by its late most excellent Editor Dr . Crucefix , to whom I consider myself happy in being personally known , and to whom I beg the favour of requesting him to accept my sentiments of sincere regard ; it is also a matter of consequence to me to have the happiness of being personally acquainted with one of your excellent contributors to the Review , the Rev . Dr . Oliver , whose valuable information is of so hih a character . I am in my fifty-sixth
g year of Masonry , having been initiated in the Union Lodge in Nottingham , now extinct , in the year 1789 , and in the year 1796 made a Kni ght Templar at the Surrey tavern , in the Strand , by Capt . Hannam ; and having been Junior AA arden , Senior Warden , and Master of the Corinthian Lodge at Newark upon Trent , I feel now as anxious as I ever did for the prosperity of the Craft , of which I am considered the father in the county of Nottingham ; you may feel assured my efforts will not
be wanting to increase the number of contributors to your valuable publication : as I am now nearly eighty , of course my summons to the Grand Lodge above cannot be far distant , and I hope and trust I am , by the assistance of the Hol y Spirit , making a preparation for the solemn event . In the interim I beg to subscribe myself , yours fraternally , JOHN STBONG .

TO THE EDITOR .
SIR AND BROTHER , —Let me take this opportunity of thanking you , and congratulating the Craft on your determination to continue the Review ; upon that depended my continuing a member of the Craft . If at any time it should be found necessary , in addition to the present sale of the Review , that an annual subscription be entered into for the purpose of maintaining it , I shall most gladly become a subscriber . Yours fraternally , MASONICUS . March a , 1 U' 3 ,
