“There is no event more popularly remembered and
referred to than the granting of Magna Charta at Runnemede”


            Baronial Order of Runnemede

Office of the Genealogist  (Embossed seal of Baronial  417 West 114th Street
  Mr. Charles H. Browning      Order of Runnemede)     New York City
Ardmore, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.                          7 July, 1924

My dear Baron Bullock.

Received note from Mr. C, K. Hill, Tenn
saying you wish to nominate him,
therefore, I’m enclosing usual form.
You sign it when (check mark), and, per Statutes,
send this “paper” to Signet (Mr. Charles
Marshall, The Union League, Phil., Pa.)
with Mr. Hill’s descent ped(igree) from a M.C.
Baron—or a Surety, if possible,--made up
in abstract, but giving sources of ped(igree)
information, etc.,--your own *, and a
check or draft for Membership Fee of the
Constitution ($50.00), written to order of the
Purse (Mr. John B. Clement).--

(page 2)

May tell Mr. Hill that the
membership is in perpetuity and that
there are no “dues,” not assessments
ever,--but occasionally some
eats and there use to be some
“drinks”—till the South got on
the Water Wagon!

Sorry. about the Mr. “Thomas” ped(igree):
but its compiler—Rev. Wm. T.
took it all back.  Years ago.
as mention in “Bulletin”,--Notes—
of IV (1874) ed. *--* p. 80, etc.
 
                      Faithfully Yours,
                       C.H. Browning

NVS Mr. Hill check is quite as good as        
his “consent.”
