Excerpts
"I have no doubt the priciples are good, the Corner Stone well laid, and ought to be supported by Wisdom, Strength and Justice. If they conducted with the prudence, they might diffuse that universal benevolence, which would promote 'peace on earth and good will to men.' The original principals are said to be Wisdom, Strength and Beauty. There is, however, some reason to fear that many young Masons grasp the shadow only."
(Excerpt form "A Series of Letters on Freemasonry" by 'A Lady of Boston'/Hannah Mather Crocker)
"Her 'Series of Letters' is an erudite apologia of the Craft and is quite impressive considering the rarity of women's participation in the Craft during that era. It is eqally notable given that all societal matters of the time leaned heavily toward men. Malecraft Brothers who investigated the history of early Women Freemasons seem to have overlooked Hannah. Perhaps they ignored her rather than speak ill of someone who spoke so well of them. This may very well be tacit acknowledgement of her rare accomplishments."
