Correspondence from Charles Stansfeld Jones to Wilfred Talbot Smith
[EXTRACT]
[1 October 1921]
This matter of O.H.O. [Outer Head of the Order] is indeed a difficulty, for I do not know how A.C. will take it and what his next move will be. I'd rather not give an official paper in connection with the matter till I hear from him, so think you had better say that Lodge is started on a special dispensation and Charter may be granted later when we see how the work grows and progresses. . . . I've had a card from O.H.O. [Theodor Reuss] telling me not to dispense degrees under his charter for America, but A.C. will probably cut loose and do His Will. Don't get downhearted about this, just go ahead quietly, and say nothing, and the matter will straighten out.
