From Christian Emanuel Frölich
als: American Philosophical Society
Görlitz, Silesia, April 7, 1781, in German: We would be extremely
grateful if you would send the French warrant for a
branch of our Masonic lodge here at Görlitz. The warrant sent
from London was not suitable, for we have no intention of affili-ating
with the rite of Strict Observance of the Berlin lodge or
the London lodge. If you could send us application cards I will
do the necessary and send them back with [Mene?].
I should also like to know if a M. Frosch, director of the lo-terie
royale in Paris, is still living, if he is married, and if he is still
a Protestant. A certain relative of his wishes to leave him a sig-nificant
sum of money.
I ask this of you only because your readiness to help and your
brotherly love are so well known. Should I be so lucky as to obtain
a warrant for a lodge, I will be at your service.
