TO CORRESPONDENTS .
C < 2 f WE are requested to state that Dr . Crucefix has altogether retired from London . His address is Grove , Gravesend , Kent ; where all communications should be addressed that are intended for his personal observation—indeed , letters for the Editor , under cover to him , will more immediately reach their destination . It is most earnestly entreated that , wherever possible , all communications may be written only on one side of the paper ; also that all German and other foreign words may be most legibly written .
We are requested by Dr . Crucefix , who is preparing for the Press an account of popular events in English Freemasonry , to be favoured by any Masonic papers ; more especially as relating to York and Athol Masonry—the trials of Preston , Whitney , Bonner , and others . His own escapade is complete . Furthermore—Dr . Crucefix desires us respectfully to intimate , that * as in a great many instances he has not kept copies of his own correspondence with numerous esteemed Brethren , he
will consider it a lasting obligation if Brethren , possessing any letters written by him on important subjects , will grant him the loan of such letters , which will serve to refresh his memory ; such letters of course to be returned , if requested .
A LONDON MASTER . —The letter reached us too late , even for an abbieviation of its contents . AVe gather from it that passive obedience to the " sic volo sic jubeo * ' orders is preferable to the doubtful result of opposition thereto , whieh scarcely harmonizes with the following passage— " Great changes are about to be made in the laws of the fraternity as being possibly necessary and expedient ; but we hope the Grand Master will be inspired with wisdom to give such a direction to these changes that they may not prove injurious to the Order " W '; iat is all this but sheer nonsense .
