Jacksonville, Fla., April 7, 1913.

To the Brethren of the Scottish Rite Bodies in Florida:

The New Age Magazine, the mouthpiece of our beloved Rite, should have the hearty support of every member of the Rite in Florida, by exerting an active, individual interest, in extending its sphere of usefulness in the dissemination of Masonic literature and knowledge. We can feel justly proud of our magazine, edited by one of the best informed Masons of this day, and contributed to by some of the brightest scholars and most profound thinkers of the times. Unless you are keeping a complete file, read them, and then pass them on to any Master Mason. Our present Blue Lodge membership is 10,794, and we should double our membership in the Rite in the next two years. May we all work earnestly for the extension of the Rite.

Sincerely and fraternally yours,

Wm. Stratton Ware, 33 Hon.,
Deputy of the Supreme Council in Florida.
