Description |
This is an early Warrant to constitute a Lodge in Albany, New York which was granted by Most Worshipful George Harison, Provincial Grand Master to Dr. Peter Middleton. In 1771, Dr. Middleton was appointed Deputy Grand Master by Sir John Johnson, Provincial Grand Master. This Warrant is handwritten on vellum in ink that has faded to brown. Some of the lettering is in larger letters and some in all capital letters, both for emphasis. There are design flourishes in between some of the sentences. There are the remnants of a red wax seal in the upper left corner, held in place with a green ribbon. The remains of the wax seal show part of a castle tower. |
