Tilton should have written me such letter;
Bowen said he and Tilton had some differ
ence between them, and he proceeded to
talk about Tilton; he said he had dismissed
Tilton from the editorsbip of the Indepcnd-
ent to that of a contributor on account of
business reasons, as Tilton's views did not
agree with those of the paper that when
he had dismissed him stories were told to
him by parties about Tilton one was in
regard to woman at Winsted, and another
in the northwest one, a lady in the office to
whom he had made improper advances /

in the steamer Oceanic, and that the dinner

him permission to see Elizabeth |;
