Additional Details

A unique manuscript copy of what was obviously intended to be a pamphlet printing of the Proceedings of the Convention of the Grand Colored Lodge. Held in the City State and County of New York State, it is apparent from a further reading, that there were three lodges involved in the Convention: Philanthropic Lodge 1, Hiram Lodge 2, and Union Lodge 3. We were unable to find any sign or record of a printing of this pamphlet.
