Lodge of Sincere Friendship: Correspondence and Formation of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Toulouse

Please. We have often been told about the expense that the correspondence of the G∴ O∴ entails; oblige me by telling me how much the Constitutions will cost, so that I may inform the members of the Reunion of this.

necessary that the petition to the G∴ O∴ be accompanied by certain documents French: "planches" - literally boards/planks, a Masonic term for letters or official documents of which we do not know the form. That is why I pray you to tell me in response:

1st, if you wish to be our Protector, and consequently our Deputy to the G∴ O∴ under the projected Lodge.

2nd, what are the formalities that we have to fulfill for this, and what documents it is necessary that we send you.

There is this particular circumstance: that the L∴ we propose to establish will be the only one in correspondence with the G∴ O∴, the other LL∴ being firmly decided not to correspond with it anymore.

I pray you to let me know your intentions as soon as possible, and to believe me with the most distinguished and Masonic sentiments, your affectionate f∴ brother.
