don't detract at all from the force OF the deciara
ton OF MIR. Moulton that IL was written from inc
dctation Of Mr.. Beecher Well, Mr. Porter says again
II the first time in the history Of epsoatory CORE
spondence that gentleman has directed letter 10 n'
self" lie thuks striking sngari'y, improbabili'y'
that Mr. Moulon writing a, the Gctation of MI Beecher
should have headed this letter with an address, To my
dear friend Monlton" Well II did not strike ny learned
friend that that argument that could I've reofca
upon him with considerable force. II this was not tho
letter Of Mr. Beecher addressed 10 Mr. Mouton II II was
the letter Of Mr. Moulion to himself, or memorandum
would Mouton have been guilty of the folly Of address
ing 1t to himself Indulge the suspicious OF my
learned friend, and the accusations against fif.
Moulton that this in any sense or for any purpose
is fabricated document, the authorship OF whch GU
not belong to Mr. Beecbcr would Mr.. Mouitoh nave
headed il with address TO llmselff But, regarding IL
az he represents il TO be- production OF MS owi IN
tended TO influence the heart and the tendencies OF Iheo
dore Thon addressed through Mculton to be submitted
10 Tton the opening OF the letter Is appropriate ana
propcr and accords with that situation OF things
In trust with f. d. Moulton-I have trusted TINS 10
MouOn in confidence.
Why what have you given TO MoutoD in confidence
Mr. Beecheri His memorandum, made at bis own sus-
geston for his own purpose, not your WORDS no. YOU
production, nothing you responsible lori III IL DO
true ma Won say that you told MoultOn that be couid
make q memorandum for HIMSELF and use IL LOT
himself Why does Mr. Beccher assume 10 say :
This paper with its writing, Win i's seH'i'no".
and tbongh,s trust TO YOU Mouton. In ccnfdencc and
can he now diselaim the proprieorslhp o1 inc hs,ru
menti Can he say, 1t Is not my paper oso"h II,
after making this solemn declaration that be in'iusc"
"a belonging 10 himself something which he gave OF
his own right and BY his property title W Mou'on
I'm copfdencei And for what To kept For whom
For Mr.. Beecherf
And the stupid proposition IL made that Mr. Beecher
confdes to Mr. MoultOn hasty and unauthor'anVe he
orandum Moulton himself makes, when belongs W num-
and which has the power and the nght 10 use az III
chooses Mr. Beecher assumes commit it TO Mr. Moul
ton In confidence his Becchers paper to be preser'eu
for him his title being disputed TO it, DO not per-
eeve that this paper Is at all ungrammatcal in Its ex
prossons In the construction OF it's sentences Is sug
ested by my associate that that accusation was brought
against il but have read it to you don't know now
can repeI that idea any forcbly than by simply
reading the document. There Is no inaccuracy OF ex-
precision there is violation OF any rule OF grammar
with which am acquainted and which can perceive
I Am handed an extract from the Lecture Room
Talks Of Mr. Beechcr in which he speaks OF certain con-
ditions Of the mind and tho emotions which LEAD 10
extravagant and hasty tsonetimes unconsidcred, ex
pressons lie quotes from the Bible the language OF an
ancient patriarch:
Jacob exhibited when he wrestlod with tho angel and
said. 81 viii net let thee go except thou bless me ih az
Tho patriarchs life and he knlled TO ecSacy OF
feeling When the mind reused ny chooses ne oMn IAN
puaee There are every mans life, OF disaster
and OF ecstatic desire in which the sou mounts up ana
employs language that could not ordinarily be employed
And when the feeling justjtcs IT, there Is nothing tha
the sou may moi use When tc soul Is IN battle scLcs
ANYTHING for a shaft and let's fly. And when man Is
in anguish and agony, and is ,inpmahg nou no u' ~;
the ordinary key OF feeling brings down THIS Language %
paroHysnal moments THAT word occurring d 5 aGa" !,
IL 10 wrong OF course.
