Meanwhile Mrs. Morse the mother-n-law of Mr..
TiltOn, who was from time to time an inmate of his
family in Livingston-st., had, 1 was informed
both by Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton, learned from her
daughter the criminal relationship heretofore
existing between Beecher and herself, and who
could not understand why that matter had been
settled, and who had not been told how it had been
adjusted. and who had had most bitter quarrel
with Tilton, accusing him of not having so carried
his affairs to keep what fortune he had, and who
had called upon Beecher about the relations between
TiltOn and Mrs. TiltOn, and who had as Beecher had
informed me, filled the minds of Mrs. Beecher and
himself with stories of TiltOn's inidelity and
improper conduct to his wife, wrote the following
letter to Beecher under date of January 81, 1871,
which he delivered to me the next day, as appears
by my memorandum thereon, together with the
draft of which he said he proposed to send
to Mrs. Morse. Her letter is herewith produced,

It will be observed that in the letter of Mrs. Morse
she says Tilton has sent '''''' with the Others
away Ipurposely omit the name of this young
girl. There was reason why it was desirable that
she should be away from Brooklyn. That reason,
Vas given me by Mr.. and Mrs. Tilton, was this She
had overheard conversations by them concerning
Mrs TiltOn's criminal intimacy with Beecher, and
she had reported these conversations to several
friends of the family. Being young, and not know
ing thu, Consequences Of her pr4tling, 1t seemed
proper for the safety of the t@o|familes that she
should be sent to distance to school, which was
accordingly done. She was put at boarding-sshool
at the West and the expenses OF her stay there were
privately paid through me by Beecher, to whom
had stated the difficulty of having the girl remain
in Brooklyn; and he agreed with us that it was
best that she should be removed, and offered to be
at the cost of her schooling The bills were sent to
me from time to time % they became due part Of
them through Mrs. Tilton. Previous to her going |
