T > OYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR XV GIRLS . The Votes of thc Governors and Subscribers are earnestly solicited on behalf of MET A BELL BRASIER . The following letter , which appeared in the Freemason of the 20 th July , will fully explain thc merits of the case . To Ihe Editor if the " Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — I trust that you will give space for the following letter , in aid of a girl nameel " Mcta Bell Brasier , " whose case is so unique and exceptional that no words from me would be needed to draw attention to it , as any body thoroughly reading the details cannot fail to understand and appreciate ; but as a rule , the circulars are enly carelessly glanced at and then thrown into the fire or waste paper basket ; I wish to attract thc notice of your readers to a case whose claims only require to be known to receive the support of those whose votes are disengaged . Indeed , so great is the claim , that in my opinion , other claims which have one or more chances , might fairly lay in abeyance to secure her election , I know , or rather feel , that as a rule , you might reasonably decline a letter for any particular case , but I do believe that you could afford to insert this on behalf of a candidate whose position stands almost if not quite alone . I big to state that I was , and am , unacquainted with any of the family , but when the case was pointed out to mc by one who had known the father and family well and for many years , I at once saw the great need of every exertion , as there are only three vacancies at the ensuing election , FO I temporarily gave up a case which could better afford to wait . The case is as follows : Thc girl's father was initiated into Freemasonry in 1 S 33 , died in May , 18 7 8 , leaving six elaughters unprovided for , the youngest of whom is the subject of my letter , and should she not succeed in the ensuing election , her age will preclude her from another attempt ; now , the great claim consists in these facts , that our brother was a subscribing member for over twenty-five years , that he was a constant subscriber to , anel took an active interest in all the Institutions , and , brethren , this is thc only chance we have of showing in a small way our appreciation of one who so ably performed his work and assisted the Craft during his life , let it not be said that the Craft generally failed to render so small a tribute to one so worthy of our remembrance . lam , dear Sir and Brother , youis fraternally , CHARLES JOHN PERCEVAL , V . P . of all the Institutions .
