TOAST AT THE MASONIC DINNER IN PHILADELPHIA.
LAFAYETTE’S COPY
“The year and may I (?) upon our massonic institution. No - Francis
second of Austria, Ferdinand of Spain. Yes Washington and Franklin”
“I should resume the description of the brilliant and varied
festivities which the inhabitants of Philadelphia offered the
Nation’s Guest, during the eight days we passed among them
(...) and notwithstanding all the pleasure I should have had in
speaking of the masonic diner, the civic ball, the visit of the
general Lafayette to the arsenal, and navy yard, the party
at general Cadwallader’s etc. (...) One was drank to Greece
regererated, wishing her a Washington for a leader, and a
Lafayette for a friend” (Levasseur,
Lafayette in America
, I, pp.
141 à 159)
