Van der Eerden received Brownson's letter this afternoon, on his arrival from Dwight, Illinois, and received the pamphlet at Dwight. The other copies are yet at St. Louis and are to be forwarded to be circulated around as soon as they reach him. The pamphlet makes a very strong case against the masons. The question will be how to get it sufficiently critiized. He intends to send his copies to friends and to scatter them at the missions. He questions whether the pamphlet will take with the masses but surely it will strike the educated as a fearful unmasking of the masonic idol. He will be in Michigan in July to talk with Brownson. He encloses a check. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
