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.
