FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
During the year it has been necessary for the Grand Master to
have correspondence with the jurisdictions of Arkansas, Indiana,
Colorado, Alabama, Washington, Missouri, New York, Ohio and Vermont.
I am pleased to say that matters concerned were of no serious
importance and that there was promptness upon the part of each
jurisdiction in answering my letters and that there is but one matter
at this time open, and that is between the jurisdiction of Illinois and
the jurisdiction of Missouri.
