Two days after this letter to Gavin Hamilton there appeared in The Lounger Mackenzie's appreciative notice of the Kilmarnock Edition.
These according to Pierre's observations were men who had no belief in anything, nor desire for anything, but joined the Freemasons merely to associate with the wealthy young Brothers who were influential through their connections or rank, and of whom there were very many in the lodge.
