| Summary | "Washington's Masonic Correspondence" by Julius F. Sachse is a historical compilation written in the early 20th century. This work brings together the Masonic letters and correspondence of George Washington, reflecting the deep reverence he held for the Masonic Fraternity and showcasing his interactions with various Masonic bodies across the United States. It presents a unique perspective on the relationship between one of America's Founding Fathers and the Masonic order, offering insights into the values of honor and integrity that shaped Washington’s life. At the start of the work, the author outlines the significance of Washington's Masonic connections and the esteem in which he was held by fellow Masons. The opening notes that Washington diligently preserved his Masonic correspondence and provides context for specific letters he wrote, such as his thank-you note for a Masonic apron sent from France. The opening portion also hints at the impact of these exchanges on Washington's legacy within Freemasonry, setting the stage for a collection of documents that will illustrate the bidirectional veneration and respect he shared with the Masonic community during his lifetime.
