E. H. Cushing, Esq.,-Dear Sir:-I am constantly in receipt of
letters from members of the K.G.C. organization asking for Degree
Works to supply new Castles.
To meet the demand I have had a new lot printed in this city,
and will hereafter be prepared to furnish them at $5 per set, in-
cluding Works for Ist and 2nd Degree Cards.

as having been organized since my last communication. Seguin, J.
Wright; Gonzales, A. D. Harris; Columbus, Prof H. A. Tatum; Eagle
Lake, I. J. Frazar; Alleyton, Jno. K. Hanks. I have addressed the
citizens at the above named places, and I think, satisfied them that
the K.G.C. is a truly Southern institution, looking to the general good
of our section of the late United States. I shall return immediately
to San Antonio where all letters should be directed in order to
receive a prompt reply. Very truly yours 8cc,
