About this book
Letters exchanged with Masonic lodges reveal the care George Washington gave to his ties with the fraternity. Compiled and annotated by Julius F. Sachse, this collection places lodge addresses beside Washington's replies and draws on records preserved among his papers at the Library of Congress. Its chronological arrangement follows correspondence with local lodges and state Grand Lodges, with drafts and copies showing how the letters were prepared and retained.
The commentary gives these formal exchanges a human setting. A section on Pennsylvania describes Tobias Lear's handwritten copy of a reply, Washington's signature, and the civic careers of prominent lodge members.
