The Committee commend in the strongest tsrms the

SIR: Will you allow me to correct several state
mcnts in article which you published ycstef
from Weetorn paper, headed, Adopted Daughter
of II. W. Beecher % have no adopted daughter, and
Fever rad. The young woman alluded to was IN my
parish and received education by the aid OF iunds
contributed By several benevolent gentlemen. But
she wac neither an adopted child of mine nor az any
time member of my family, nor connected with I"e
in any other way than the recipient OF religious ana
secular education. Her history was even darker and
more melancholy during her Brooklyn HE than the
narrative ,epresents Bu regard the statement tnst
che injured By unIequted love as entirely WITH
out foundation. From the day she landed ON our
shores (she was born in Ireland, have reason 70
think that sbe employed unusual powers, with extra
ordinary address for purposes Of deception. Hun
dre6s OF people in the city made to pity ana re-
eve her condition by tales that were vared WITH ex
traordnsry skill To suit her purposes. And believe
that within two or three years she must have re-
ceved ana squsndered several thousand dollars.
She was supposed to be dead. II seems, however
that she is worse tnan dead. Her case 10 t-et IL
pitiable enough without any embelshment OF sup
posed connection with my fnmily. ...,.,.,,,.,
