TO THE FRATERNITY OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES OF NORTH-AMERICA- -GREETING.

KNOW YE, That we, the undersigned, having duly examined our worthy Companion, JEREMY L.

Also, with the Lectures and mode of working in the several Degrees of Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch Masonry, as sanctioned and directed to be taught by the Officers of the General Grand Royal Arch Chapter of the United States of N.
