Solicitation of funds for assisting Seto Mau Cheekungtong (Chinese Freemasons)

Description

Includes records of solicitation of donations for Tang Yip Yang's legal expenses in Ottawa; this reflects how the Chinese Freemasons (Cheekungtong) of Canada worked as a "mutual aid society." The letter from the Dart Coon Club of Montreal to the Dart Coon Club of Victoria addresses Tang's need for financial assistance; however, the book of donation record for Tang is empty.
