Letter from Moses Holbrook to John James Joseph Gourgas, 1828 April 19

Letter from Moses Holbrook to John James Joseph Gourgas. Dated April 19, 1828. In this letter, Sovereign Grand Commander Holbrook of the Southern Jurisdiction states that Joseph M’Cosh arrived last evening, and Holbrook wants to reply to Gourgas’ official Balustre soon. Holbrook touches upon the anti-Masonic troubles occuring in Western New York and disparages their critics. He reports he is moving to 64 Queen Street and has not heard anything of Peter Javain, whose Cerneau group has not met since their leader Charles S. Tucker died. Holbrook desires to have both Supreme Councils “inserted in the Paris Register.” Concludes by stating he is sad Reverend Nathan N. Whiting suffers.
