	Fussell was a freemason, and wrote a book ''More Light - A Study of Theosophy and Freemasonry''.		Fussell was a freemason, and wrote a book ''More Light - A Study of Theosophy and Freemasonry''. He wrote:
			<blockquote>
			My own interest in Freemasonry dates back to 1890 and my interest in [[Theosophy]] to the same year. Within two or three weeks after landing at New York from England, I met[[ William Q. Judge]], Co-founder with [[Helena Petrovna Blavatsky\|Madame Blavatsk]]y of [[Theosophical Society\|The Theosophical Society]] and her Successor as Leader and Teacher in the same.

			Very soon afterwards, I went to Savannah, Georgia, receiving form Mr. Judge an introduction to Dr. R. J. Nunn, a Fellow of The Theosophical Society, and, as I soon learned, also a great student of Freemasonry. He was, in fact, Sovereign Grand Inspector-General 33° for Georgia. He and I very soon became very close friends, although I was a young man of about twenty-seven and he over seventy. During the eight months or so that I was in Savannah, I had the great privilege of meeting with him every Saturday evening and of discussing with him Theosophy and Freemasonry. He was a personal friend of Albert Pike and he told me many interesting things about him.<ref>Joseph E. Fussell letter to Mr. R. Ruckstell. April 24, 1930. Boris de Zirkoff Papers. Records Series 22.
