SIR-It is now nearly wear since, IT
the instance of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,
was indicted for libel, in charging him
| with adultery with Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton.
During all this time the prosecution have
taken no steps for trial or Indictment. and
l am advised that have right TO, and do,
hereby, notify YOU that am ready, at any
moment, to meet any charge, and / re-
quest You to appoint the earliest
practicable moment for trial, and since it
is intimated by the partisans of the pros
ecution that that they intend to shield him
from the consequence of exposure involved
in the trial Oi my charge OF adultery by
procuring " hdrawal or suppression o
the indictment, | hereby protest against
such an evasion Of public Justice upon the
private rights. If Henry Ward Beecher I've
innocent of the charge against him,
ought to be punished Tor my offence. On
the other hand, if / have not accused him
falsely, and am not guilty of the oiiense,
society and law owe me an acquittal and
vindication from the Indictment preferred
against me. Verv respectfully yours.
