The
facsimile of this document was published in the book Rosicrucian Manual:
Depending the edition the facsimile
is in different parts of the book (usually in chapter 6
or chapter 8) and below the image it is written:
“The Charter granted
to the National Rosicrucian Lodge”
MY OPINION
This is one
of the numerous bogus documents that Harvey Spencer Lewis, the founder of
AMORC, produced to impress his followers, and which shows the charlatanism of
this individual because the "Rosicrucian Supreme Council of the
World" that supposedly sponsored this document in reality does not exist
since this organization was a fictitious institution invented by Lewis (see link).
And this
document also shows the megalomania of Lewis who not satisfied with signing
once as "Imperator of the Rosicrucian Order in the United States",
still signed it again as "Supreme Grand Master".

And this is one more example of how enormously a liar
Spencer Lewis was.
