UNITED GRAND LODGE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I am rather surprisad at so many Past masters writing to the newspapers on a matter that does nob concern the general public. And lam more than surprised, I am pained, to think they have not the manliness to sign their names to these letters. And I now ask all Masons, whatever their opinions on the above subject may be, to place no reliance on any such letters unless under true signatures, for many of the statements lately put forth are only in part true, and are absolutely misleading. I can scarcely imagine a Past Master making such statements as those appearing in to-day's issue, and had I nob known the writer I should have thought it was some enemy who wanted to throw discredit on the craft generally. It, however,, only shows to what lengths a man, even a Mason, will go when led away by strong party feeling. I don't; think I should have taken any notice of " Past Master's" lottec had it not been for the last part, in which he has presumed to imagine the thoughts of a brother, which he and I know are only correct in part.— am, &c., Chas. Laßoche, P.M.
