• SlR—The letter from my father to the
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, which Mr.
Sheppard haS thought proper to introduce
into his address, was a complimentary an
,
swer.lo a friendly and patriotic address of
the Ginnti Lodge to him. In it he express.
ly states thathe had never been initiated in
the order. He-therefore knew nothing of
their Secrete, their the, nor their Penal

been revealed,;Thy the mur er, of William

j of the Crown, when in October, 1758, my
father, having finished his law studies, and
-his sc hool-keeping- at Woreester, --- -
himself—a stranger—poor, friendless, and
obscure, to ask of him-the Tabor to present
him to the SUperior Court of the Proviticei
then sitting at Boston, for admission to the'
Bar—Mr. Gridley, in his own office, exam
fined the youthful aspirant with regard to his
professional acquirements; gave him advice
truly paternal, and slictated by the• purest
virtue; and then presented him to the Court,
with a declaration that he had himself ex
amined him, mid-could assure their Honors
that his legal acquirements were very con
siderable, and fully worthy of the admissions
which he solicited.
This kindness of Mr. Gridley was never'
forgotten by my father—l trust it will never
be forgotten by bis children. From that
day forth, while Mr. Gridley lived, he was
the intimate friend, personal and profession.
al, of my father. He died in 1767. -
fatb - er Often resorted to bin . ] for friendly
counsel, and as he was Grand Master of the
Lodge, once asked his, advice, whether it
was worth his while to become a member of
the Society. In the candour of friendship, °
Mr. Gridley answered him—NO—adding
that by aggregation to the society
man might acqiiiiiraliilleartiAcial suppor4
but that he did not need it, and that there .
was nothing in the Masonic Institution wor-
thy of his seeking to be associated with it.
So said, at that time, the Grand Master oft
the Massachusetts Masons, Jeremy Grid
- ley: and - se - ch, - . repeitedly heard my
father say, was the reason why he neVer
joined the lodge.
The use of the name of 'Washington, 62,•

my opinion, as unwarrantable ail that of in/

find in those pages lessons of:linty-for-them- -
