To remedy this false public impression, Mr.
Moutton requested Beecher to prepare aut.

answer to this request Bcochcr pleaded bis en-
narraasments, which prevented bis saying any
tllug without bringing himself under suspicion.
Ttlton then proposed to prepare curl Of hs

quoted APOLOGY, for tho purpose Of showing that
Beecl1er, instead Of having had occasion to for
give llton, had had occasion to he forgiven byhi1n.
Deechor then wrote a letter to Moulton, which, on
