Privilegium of 1873 (Canada)

The Privilegium of 1873 (sometimes called "The Lowe Letter") is the original invitation letter from the Dominion of Canada to Mennonites living in the Russian Empire offering them land, military exemption, and private schools, among other privileges.

The original document was rediscovered in 2015 in the Chortitzer Church basement in Steinbach.
