Title

Letter to William White, Moderns' Grand Lodge from Alexander Campbell, Past Master, Lennox Lodge, Richmond, Yorkshire

Date

7 November 1784

Description

Alexander Campbell writes that the Lodge is unable to contribute to the General Charity Fund at present as three members have joined, namely Bro Galloway made tyler of the Lodge, Bro Burge with a certificate from a Lodge in Sunderland and Bro Brown from a Lodge in Bradford, who had not received a certificate. The Lodge has six permanenet members and several visiting brothers. Campbell reports that he has sat in the Grand Lodge of Ireland, serving as the worshipful master of lodges in Ireland and England. States that he ensures that the Lodge obeys all the masonic rules and regulations, upholds the 47th Proposition of Euclid and hopes that the Lodge will not be erased for not sending money on this occasion but asks for a new Book of Constitutions to be sent.
