Dear Sir and BBOTHER ,- ^ In the course of the conversation we had together a few day sago , you asked ine to give you some information respecting the Lodges in India which sufl ^ red so terribly during the frightful year 1857 . You particularized that of Lucknow , and begg ^ to publish what I might state , in fae ffieemasons ^ M I can give is , however , very vague , yet such as it is I place it at your disposal .
I was only a stranger and a guest , and never a member of that Lodge but newly raised and destined to close , at least temporarily , so soon after its formation . But there were many Brethren present during the siege , and a few days before we actually gave a dinner on St . John ' s day . The extract in the Freemasons ' Magazine from my book on the siege of Lucknow , which describes that dinner , gives a pretty accurate account of what , no doubt interested my Masonic readers most . They might , however , be glad to
