Beecher's Love Letters.
4 gentleman whose official business
hu, led him 10 receive and open much of
Brcchcr's correspondence, said last even
ing in reference to Beecher 5
love letters, You would be sur
prised to know how fooishly some
women write to him. Every once
in II while woman gets little crazy
and writes to Bcecher to tell him how
much she adored him. The letters used
to 90 To- the independent office, and Til
ton. under orders from Bcecher, opened
them. Many of them he made copies Of,
and to-day has manuscripts and names
and copies of letters all connected with
respectable ladies who have fOolishly
written to Bccchcr all about their love
for him.
Mrs. Beecher Sees Them.
He receives love letters by the ream
and cord, and the joke Of it is that, as
his wife takes care of all letters that
come to him, she reads the letters before
he sees them. Mrs. Tilton letter to Beech
cr were very atiectionatc and enthusiastic,
and expressed deep pervading love in
him. Mrs. Beccher read them all before
he saw them, and they are all i'll her pos
session now. When the scandal was first
noised about. Mrs. Bcecher locked up the
letters and at Mrs. Tilton'S request has
preserved them for her. You can not
convince Mrs. Beecher that her husband
is guilty Of anything that Tilton charges.
She saws that if all the women in creation
were to swear that Bcecher had been un-
faithful, she would not believe them.
