DEAR SIR:SYours of 10Th with cir
culars at hand Gin reply to my first Of
18th AS before advised your basic
principles do not conflict with the OBJ
jects Of the Allied Orders" already
represented upon the committee Of
public safety.
Should your order desire to be rep
resented upon U committee it would
be entitled to one member or represen
tative (nO other order has but one rep
resentative)
Not all the secret orders are yet rep
resented upon our committee.

tive of your order, through your hands
would go all secret information for the
advancement of the basic PRINCIPLES
common to all; and AZ your personal
order only would information go 20 n
of your order, direct from us. This in
case, for Instance, M Of your order
should be a delegate TO an important
political convention where TO commun-
icate with him through you might not
be convenient or expeditions enough.
But in no way, shape or n do
we seek to interfere with the powers or
autonomy of any order represented.

which they join forces for a common
object, without otherwise having any
effect upon each other,
