WHITING LODGE.
GEOR0ETuwS, Sept. 2.
To me Editor Of The National Republican
In yesterdays REPUBLICAN an article ap-
pearcd under "GcOrgetown News" cOmpli.
mentary to George c. Whiting Lodge, +. A. A.
w., on account Of the handsome amount Of
$50 which was contributed by that body in
behalf Of the sufferers from yellow fever. In
this you were certainly misinformed, as an
examination of the subscription list will prove
that the most of 1t was made up by clerks in
the Bureau Of the War Department, some Of
them not eing Masons at all and some belong
ing to other lodges, with the distinct under
standing that 1t was an office contribution.
Give honor to whom honor Is due.
