MRS. TILToN TO MoULToN.

| .-.. .-e.-.t :" SATURDAY MORNING.
g Ny DEAR FRIEND FRANK: I want you to
do me the greatest possible favor. My letter
which you have, and one which I gave Mr..
Beecher at his dictation, last evening, ought
both to be destroyed. Please bring both to
me, and / will Durn them Show this note to
| Theodore and Mr.. Beecher. They will see the
propriety of this request. Yours truly,
"E. R. TILToN."
The letter referred to, of course, it vii!
be seen, is the confession" the only letter [
then had of hers referring to this matter
| And again, to show that cannot be either
mistaken or untrue, | refer to Mr.. Tilton's
note to Beecher of April FL following: ~
FRIDAY, April 81, 1871.
Mr.. BEECHER AS Mr.. Moulton has re-
turned, will you use your influence to have
the papers in his possession destroyed? My
heart bleeds night and day at the injustice of
their existence"
Would not Hilton have caused such paper to
be preserved after he had founded an accusa-
ton uponit? This falsehood was put in by
Beechers lawyers lest Tilton might produce
q copy as my statement had not then been
published with it's documentary evidence.
The next point is in regard to Beechers
alleged want of veracty concerning the letter
of contrition, in which he uses the expression
8 Humble myself before him CIilton) as do
before my God" Moulton proceeds to ex-
that letter was written. It was, he says, at
Beechers own dictation, and read
by him carefully before he put his signature
to it. .
Moulton next brings what purports to be
his proofs that Beecher and Mrs. Tilton re-
| newed their intimacy after the confession
was made, and after both had given assurance
to Tilton that they would not meet except
through him. In support of his statements
he produces the following invitation to Mr..
B. from Mrs T.:
"WEDNESDAY.
"MY DEAR FRIEND: Does your heart bound
towards all as it used? SO does mine [ am
myself again (sic). I did not dare to tell you

heart these four weeks. and he has cove

has come. Because thought it would glad
den you to know this, and not to trouble or
embarrass you in any way. now write. Of
course [ should like to share with you my JOY,
but can wait for the beyond. When dear
Frank says [ may once again go to old P1yn-
outh, will thank the dear Father" . sf.
And the following note from Mr.. B. to
Mrs. T: @
"The blessing of God rest upon you. Every
spark Of light and warmth in your own house
will be star and sun in my dwelling. Your
note broke like spring [sicl upon winter, and
gave me an inward bound toward life. No
one can ever know. none but God through
What dreary wilderness I have wandered.
There was Mount Sinai; there was the
barren waste, and there was the alienation
of hope and despair that marked the pilgrim
age of old. If only it might lead to the
promised land Or, like Moses, shall I die Oh
the border2 Your hope and courage are alike
amazing. Gould God inspire you to restore
and rebuild at home, and, while doing it, to
cheer and sustain outside of it another who
sorely needs help in heart and spirit, it will
prove life SO noble as few are able to live,
and in another world the emanicipated soul
