At this meeting, "a communication was received from John C. Bennett and others, of the city of Nauvoo, asking this Lodge to recommend to the Grand Lodge of the State, certain individuals whose names were therein contained, to be appointed Master and Wardens of a Lodge to be established at said city ; but as those persons were unknown to this Lodge as Masons, it was thought prudent not to do so. The letter was returned to Bro. H. Rogers with instructions how to act upon it."
