Philadelphia. . . June 28. . . At a meeting of a lodge of
Free Masons, in order to celebrate the festival of St.
John's day, it accidently happened that thirteen members
met, that at dinner they had thirteen dishes of meat on the
table; they drank thirteen loyal American toasts; sang
thirteen songs; their bill for liquor was thirteen bottles
of wine. . . [3 lines] which caused it to be remarked that
it was in some degree emblematical of the union, friendship,
harmony, and freedom of the thirteen United States of
America.
