American brethren the Brazilians
discussed the Masonic, teachings

receive and enterraia Masons who
were abso.utely free in thouht and
possessions, while they5 themselves
were holders 01 slaves, aid evi
duatly violating the law of univcr

In honor of the Americans thirtv
two members at once signed an
