| General note | "This letter, written in 1798 by Samuel Dexter (but not published at the time), was a response to two letters from Josiah Bartlett, grand master of Massachusetts, published in the American Mercury and palladium. Bartlett had criticized Jedidiah Morse's warnings about Illuminism. According to the Proceedings of the 1830 U.S. Anti-Masonic Convention (see no. 3426), 67, Bartlett intervened to keep Dexter's response from being published. These same anti-Masonic proceedings state that Dexter's response 'has recently been discovered among the papers of the late Dr. Morse, and has since been published.' ... There are 2 states of this entry: one with the bottom half of p. 4 blank; the other with an 1816 note from the Boston Centinel." Cf. Walgren, K.L. Freemasonry, anti-masonry and illuminism in the United States, 1734-1850, a bibliography, no. 3285. |
