We are proud to see a brother'in command of so fine a vessel, and thankful that the Great Architect Divine has endowed you with that power which enables you to bear such responsibilities as must attend the command of a ship carrying 500 human beings. We have observed with Masonic pleasure the manner in which you have treated the passengers, bringing all to a level and within the compass of the greatest moderation and forbearance to which Masonic love 'can extend. We are certain that if at any time you may chance to visit any of our mother lodges, you will meet with a hearty welcome, as you will with each ol us should we ever meet you on shore.

I will be happy to meet you at all times, when I hope you will be more comfortable than I could make you at sea. Wishing you every success in the land of your adoption.
