[H.P.B. AND HER MASONIC DIPLOMA]

[In connection with an article by George Corbyn entitled “Rosicrucianism” and published in the Spiritual Scientist, criticising the article by “Hiraf” as well as H.P.B.’s reply thereto, H.P.B. wrote in her Scrapbook, Vol. III, p. 256, as follows:]

I am sorry Mr. Corbyn is so ignorant of Masonry. Since his was written I have received from the Sovereign Grand Master General of the A. and P. Rite of England and Wales a diploma of 32nd Degree.
