Document Description: This item consists of an original typed letter, dated October 21st, 1965, addressed to Mr. Paul F. Fundinger of Fleetwood, Pennsylvania. The letter serves as notification of his selection for advancement to the Master Mason degree within Teutonia Lodge No. 367, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. The letter is composed on a single sheet of cream paper. No formal letterhead is present. The text informs the recipient of his unanimous selection and references a booklet published by the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania (not included with this letter) pertaining to the duties and privileges associated with the Master Mason degree. The letter is signed by Hans Weiser, Secretary of the Lodge, with the closing "Kindest personal regards". Handwritten annotations are present on the letter. The notation "cc: F. Wollenhaupt, W.M. and Frederick Schmidt, S.W." indicates that carbon copies were distributed to the Worshipful Master and Senior Warden. A further handwritten note, "File," suggests this copy was intended for inclusion in the Lodge's records. The document exhibits creasing from folding and discoloration consistent with age. The paper's thinness, typical of stationery from the period, results in show-through of the typed text when folded. No significant tears or damage are apparent. The paper exhibits a fine texture characteristic of period stationery. Images are provided to illustrate the condition of the front and back of the unfolded letter. This letter provides insight into personal and fraternal history and the administrative practices of Teutonia Lodge during the mid-1960s.
