12. Letter of Marcelo H. del Pilar, dated Madrid, June 1, 1893, and
addressed to D. Juan A. Teuluz (Juan Zulueta).-My dear friend: (After
informing him of the disagreements he had with Rizal and deploring
the great harm done to the interests of Masonry by Pedro Serrano,
who had misappropriated certain funds raised for "Propaganda"
purposes, he adds): 'The peninsular Masonry is a means of
propaganda for us. If the Masons there pretend to make Masonry an
organ of action for our ideals, they make a very bad mistake. What
is needed is a special organization (the Katipunan?), devoted
especially to the Filipino cause; and although its members, or some
of them, may be Masons, they must not depend upon Masonry.
Apparently this is to be done by the L(iga) F(ilipina).-Without more
for today, regards.-MARCELO'." "
