before produced asking Beecher to speak at suffrage
convention are all the letters have from her to
Beecber. To this letter no reply was made.
| After the publication of the tripartite covenant
| by Mr. Wilkeson, which believe on the 10Th of
May 1s3 the story of the troubles between Beecher
and Tilton was revived. with many rumors, and
those claiming to be friends of Beecher were en-
deavoring as Tilton thought, to explain the terms
| of that covenant in a manner prejudicial to him.
| Some enemies of Beecher were endeavoring to get
some clue to the proofs Of the facts lying at the bot
|
| tom of these scandals.
| After the publication of this "tripartte
| nantr was made, TiltOn deemed. from the COM
! ments of the press, that the statement reflected
| upon him. and he desired that in some way Beecher
| should relieve him from the imputatiOn of having
| circulated slanderous stories about him without
justification. for which he had apologized, and by
advice Of friends he prepared card for me to sub
NIT to Beecher to have him sign and publish in his
vindication. The original card herewith produce
