Dixon , assuring him of the very high estimation in which he was held by the members of the lodge , and hoped he might be spared long to wear it . Dr . Dixon in a very suitable reply returned his thanks The jewel is a specimen of our Bro . A . D . Loewenstark's artistic skill . The inscrition on the hack of the jewel bears testimony
p of the vei-y many laborious offices our Bro . Dr . Dixon has held for the good of the lodge , viz ., the founder , R . AV . M ., Treasurer , Hon . Sec , from the year 1857 to 1862 .
