Letter from Moses Ryles, Lane End to Robert Leslie, Grand Secretary explaining that he is Junior Warden of an unwarranted lodge established by the Rev Page Godfrey working by dispensation as a branch at Lane End in the Potteries of Friendly Brothers' Lodge, No. 109 [SN 1368], Newcastle under Lyme. Aware of the unmasonic conduct as an unwarranted lodge, Ryles seeks advice from the Grand Secretary. Ryles states he was made a mason in Friendly Brothers' Lodge, No. 109 four years ago but has not received a Grand Lodge membership certificate. Confirms he holds a private certificate listing John Phillips as Worshipful Master, John Martin, Senior Warden, the Rev Page Godfrey, Junior Warden and John Eccles, Secretary. A warrant was granted subsequently to form United Potters Lodge, No. 134(B) [erased], [SN 1451], Lane End.
