drunk with Masonic honours . Bro . Maydwell , in returning thanks , said he should leave Colchester with a good deal of regret , for although he should wish to carry out his year of office , he could not hope to attend so regularly as heretofore , or to enjoy the same intercourse with the members of the sister Lodge . He had made many kind friends in Colchester , which he attributed entirely to the influence of
Freemasonry ; for when a Brother did what he could to promote the welfare of the Craft , he was sure to meet with friends wherever he might go . He was happy to say that the United Lodge , which he had assisted in establishing , had prospered beyond their most sanguine expectations ; for although it had lost almost all its old members , who had gone to different parts of the world , carrying with them the principles of Freemasonry , it had received a constant accession of new members , and was still a strong Lodge .
