Washington Defends Freemasonry

Letter of George Washington to George Washington Snyder, October 24, 1798

The Writings of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Sources,
1745-1799.
John C. Fitzpatrick, Editor.--vol. 36
Mount Vernon, October 24, 1798.
Revd Sir: I have your favor of the 17th. instant before me; and my only
motive to trouble you with the receipt of this letter, is to explain,
and correct a mistake which I perceive the hurry in which I am obliged,
often, to write letters, have led you into.

It was not my intention to doubt that, the Doctrines of the Illuminati,
and principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the
contrary, no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.

The idea that I meant to convey, was, that I did not believe that the
Lodges of Free Masons in this Country had, as Societies, endeavoured to
propagate the diabolical tenets of the first, or pernicious principles
of the latter (if they are susceptible of seperation). That Individuals
of them may have done it, or that the founder, or instrument employed to
found, the Democratic Societies in the United States, may have had these
objects; and actually had a seperation of the People from their
Government in view, is too evident to be questioned.

My occupations are such, that but little leisure is allowed me to read
News Papers, or Books of any kind; the reading of letters, and preparing
answers, absorb much of my time. With respect, etc.
Eric
