The records of the War department of the English Government show that General Gages Military Regiment was not in the United States of America and located at Boston Mass. in the year of 1772-1773 and in the middle part of the year of 1774. It appears from the record of the English War department that General Gages Military Regiment which was stationed at Boston Mass. was in the middle part of 1774 recalled to England and did not return back to the United States again. And a number of voluminous articles has on several occasions appeared in numerous American magazines by some of our American Military Generals relative to the occupation of British soldiers on American soil in the year of 1774, 1775, 1776 and you will find that they do not mention or refer to the name of General Gages Military Regiment being present in Boston Mass. in the year 1775 at Boston Mass. but they do refer to General Gages Military Regiment being in the United States at Boston in the year of 1772 and 1773 and the middle part of the year of 1774 and having been recalled by the English government. In the National Magazine of the month of June 1907 an article there appeared in that magazine relative to the withdrawal by the English War Department of General Gages Regiment from Massachusetts in the year of 1774. And upon further investigation of this matter we find that General Gages Military Regiment which Prince Hall, Boston Smith, Thomas Sanderson and their associates claim to have been made Master Masons on the 6th of March 1775 at Boston Mass. that General Gages Regiment was not in the United States at that time. This was published by a circular issued by James Barnett Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New York. See the proceedings of the organization of the second Grand Lodge of Colored Masons Of the state of New York James Barnett in the year of 1848. See the circular letter of Jacob Francis Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York on Oct. 25th 1848, and they state the same thing that General Gages Military Regiment was not in the United States of America March the 6th 1775 and that being true how can it be possible that Prince Hall, Boston Smith, Thomas Sanderson and their associates could have been made Master Masons in a Lodge in General Gages Military Regiment on the 6th of March 1775 at Boston Mass. when General Gages Military Regiment was not in the United States of America. It shows conclusively that the introduction of Freemasonry in the State of Mass. among Colored Men was not only unlawful and a fraud and sham, but that the statements coming from those individuals from the State of Mass. was untruthful and unreliable and they simply told beyond all peradventure of a doubt, a bare-faced, wilful and malicious lie, and which had been manufactured for the very purpose of misleading and hoodwinking the Colored People of this country.
