New York, John Fenno. 4pp. The letter of the Masons to Washington, and Washington’s letter of August 18, 1790 in response, printed in full on page 4. In full, “Gentlemen, I receive the welcome which you give me to Rhode-Island with pleasure—and I acknowledge my obligations for the flattering expressions of regard contained in your address1 with grateful sincerity. Being persuaded that a just application of the principles, on which the masonic fraternity is founded, must be promotive of private virtue and public prosperity, I shall always be happy to advance the interests of the Society, and to be considered by them a deserving Brother.2 My best wishes, Gentlemen, are offered for your individual happiness. Goeorge Washington”
