you to place before the committee any papers
which Mr.: Iilion may have given you, but
do demand that you forthwith place before the
COMMITTEES every paper which have written
or deposited with YOU" In reply can only
say that can not justly place before the
| committee the papers of one of the parties
| without doing the same with the papers
OF the other, and can not do this honestly,
except ell her by legal process compe ling me-
or else by the consent in writing, not only
OF yourself, but of Mr.. Tilton,
with whom l shall confer on the
trust, see greater spirit of justice in this
reply than you have infused into
your unusual letter of August t. Very re-
lspectfuliy, FRANCIS ID MoULToN.
