To Correspondents.
BRO . E . COOK . —We are obliged by the communication . TROWEL is welcome ; but , with several other Masonic effusions , must stand over . A MASON ' S WIFE . —We are inclined to agree with our fair correspondent , that on such paltry informations letters from wives would put a stop to them . A VOICE FROM THE WEST . —Your peripatetics seldom give the proper version of facts . Their occasional appearance in Grand Lodge gives them a smattering , but they forget that " a little knowledge is a dangerous thing . "
A MASONIC SOLDIER is of the right sort—as epigrammatic as " martial . " May we publish " " Thoughts V—they are really too good for mere private consideration . ROB . BURNS . —The satire conveyed in " the new Masonic police" is too severe : truth must not be spoken at all times . A MASONIC FRIEND . —True , a scar may remain , but it will not be a dishonourable one . His country rewards the merits ofthe soldier , and the Craft will respect those who suffer for its sake . Go IN AND WIST is full of frolic and fun , but is inadmissible .
BRO . STEPHENSON . —The announcement has already appeared , vide p . 391 . TRINIDAD . —Why object to name and address ? Already this omission has delayed the insertion of papers . The letter is marked PAID , but there must be error somewhere . A MUSICAL BROTHER . —We agree . The E . A . Song should be published in the Calendar . ANTIQUITAS . —Page 65 , Const ., 1723 , " The Grand Master , with his Deputy and Wardens , shall ( at least once ) go round and visit all the Lodges about town during his Mastership . ' This direction implies very evidently that the Grand Master of the day was to be re-elected for some time , it being impossible for him and his Deputy and Wardens to visit all London Lodges within a year .
