Beecher TO Mrs. Tilton Immediately after
the publication Of Woodruff story, Is
made public this afternoon, Mrs. 1ilton
having authorized any use 10 be made OF
1t which would "serve truth and Justice :"
My Dear Mrs. Tlton:-I hoped you
would be shielded from the knowledge oil
the great wrong that has been done tC
you, and through you TO universal wo'
manhood. | can hardly bear TO speak OIL
1t or allude 10 the matter, than which
nothing can be imagined more painful tc
Q pure and womanly nature. pray daily
Tor you that your faith fail not. Yor
yourself know the way and the power o.
prayer. God has been your refuge II
many sorrows before. He will not hide
you in his pavilion until tho storm bC
overpast. The rain that beats down thC
flower TO the earth will pass at length. ant
the stem bent, but not broken, will rist
again and blossom as before. Every purC
woman on earth will feel that this wantor
and unprovoked assault is aimed at you
but reaches to universal Womsuhood.
Meantime, your dear children vii
love you with double tenderness, and
Theodore, against whom these drafts art
hurled, will hide you in his heart O
hearts. l am glad that this revelation
from the pit has given him sight OF tht
danger that was before hidden by spe
cious appearances and promises OF useful
ness. May God keep him In courage il
the arduous struggle which he wage
against adversely, and bring him out
though much tried, like gold seven times
refined. l have not spoken OF myself
No word could express the sharpness ant
depth Of my sorrow in your behalf, my
dear and honored friend. God walks il
the FIRE by the side Of those he loves, ant
In heaven neither you nor Theodore MOI
l shall regret the discipline, how hare
soever 1t may seem now. May he re
strain and turn those poor creatures who
have been given over 10 do all thil
sorrowIul harm TO those who have de
served no such treatment at their hands
II commend you TO my mothers God
my dear friend. May His emile brinf
light in darkness, and His love be per
petusl summer TO you.
"Very truly yours,
"HENRY WARD BRRCuRR.
