The letter ivas of so kind a nature ,
that he should treasure it always as a lasting memento of Bro . Taylor ' s character aud services . He ivould now congratulate the hrethren that he was able to offer the post to Bro . Griffith .

M . saicl the few remarks he felt bound to make in ap . pointing Bro . Freeman to office were equally applicable to Bro . Corcler , for he did not know any two Masons who had taken so much trouble fully to acquaint themselves Avith the principles of the Craft as these two brethren , in which they had been assisted by their attention to the Brighton Lodge of Masonic
Instruction . He trusted their conduct hitherto ivould be but an earnest of ivhat was to follow . In appointing Bro . E . Martin , of Loclge 1034 , as Assist . Dir . of Cers ., the D . G .
