4 FORMATION OF THE GRAND LODGE<br />

tuated us, you will not consider our determination, in this instance, as<br />

dictated by any vain desire of seceding from any foreign Masonic Jurisdiction,<br />

but as having been solely produced by the urgency of circumstances.<br />

We consequently hope that this act, far from diminishing in any degree<br />

the extent of the claims we may have to your good will, will on<br />

the contrary have a tendency to render them still more respectable in<br />

your minds.<br />

In this pleasing expectation, we beg leave to solicit the favor- of<br />

your esteemed and friendly correspondence. Thus aided by your talents<br />

and experience, we shall be assured of the most brilliant success; our<br />

Order will thereby flourish and acquire a new glory which will be much<br />

promoted by your brotherly kindness and cares.<br />

We pray that the Supreme Architect and Euler of the Universe may<br />

graciously bestow upon you, Eight Worshipful Brethren, His choicest<br />

blessings.<br />

With sentiments of great respect,<br />

We are very sincerely,<br />

YOUE MOST DEVOTED BEETHEEN.<br />

By order and in behalf of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana.<br />
