"My Dear Belle i "I was sorry when I met you at Bridgeport not to have had a longer talk with you about the meeting in May. I do not intend to make any speeches on any topic during anniversary week.

Living or dead, my dear sister Belle, live me and do not talk about mo or luhV others to in your presence. God love and keep you. God keep us all. "Your loving brother, "fl. W. B." The underscoring is his own and when I read in that horrible story that he begged a few hours notice that he might kill himself, my mind flew back to this sentence which suggested Eaicide to me the moment I read it, 'Living or dead, dear sister Belle, love me," and I believed even that. Tnm mn't vou iro to brother Ed ward at once and give him these letters of mine, and tell him what i tola you, anu when you have counseled together, as brothers should, counsel me also, a'.d come to me if you can.

I cannot always stand as consenting to a lie. God help us a. . Belle, p a If vnn nan's come to me. send Ed !wrd. Iam utterly alone, and my heart aches for that woman even as lor my own ttfsh and hlnnd. I do not understand her. but I know her to be pure and unselfish, and absolutely driven by some power foreign to herself to these strange utlerances, which uinets of both Mr. Tilton and his wife required it,or seemed to, and the very possible further fact that he preferred to disclose it but took the advice of a few of his leading friends ia the church and was overruled by them, they agreeing to take the resporui-bility of concealment. This would take off somewhat from the (hypocricy of the thing, but leaves the one great crime as open to condemnation as ever. But enough of this, only let me request vou te keen me informed of all that occurs, ond do not rely upon my getting the news from the Boston Advertiser that Mrs. W. has employed two Bo3ton lawyers (it gives tneir names) to oring auit against the Republican and Woman's Journal. So it looks as if the exposure is now at hand. I want to say one word more, however. Can you not let the report get out after the H. matter becomes public without being exactly responsible for it; that ion have kept up friendship with Mrs. "W.1' in the hope of influencing her not to publish the story, you having learned its truth and that is substantially the fact as I have understood it; and that you give up going to Europe with me so as to be at home and comfort H. when the truth came out, as you expected it to do in the course of the summer. This will give the appearance of Belt-sacrifice to your affiliation with her, and will explain your not coming aoroaa witn me, a fact which has a very unwifelike look. I know that you will otherwise be regarded as holding Mrs. W.'s views, and that we shall be regarded as living in some discord, and probably by many people as practicing her principles, it wouia ne a great retiei to me to have your relations to Mrs. W. explained in this way, so creditable to your heart. There is not half the untruth in it that there has been all along in my pretend ed approval of Mrs. Woodhull's course, and vet people think me an honest man. I nave lied enough about that to ruin the character of an average man, aud have probably dam-eged myself by it." After Beecher had seen these letters from his sister (Mrs. Hooker), he came to me in trouble and alarm and handed me all the letters together, with one under date of No vember 27, witn an inciosure cut irom me Hartford Times, which was alluded to: Mas. HOOKIB TO BKEOHER. Hartford, Wednesday 27, 1872. Dear Brother Read the inclosed, clip- pled from the Times of this city of last evening. I can endure no longer. I must see ou una persuaae you to wrueapaper wuicu will read, going alone to your pulpit and takiog .sole charge of the services. I shall leave hereon tberj a. m. train Friday morning, and unless you meet me at the Forty-second street station I shall go to Mrs. S.'s house, opposite the Young Men s Christian Association, Tweutythird street, where I shall hope to see you during the iy. Mrs. S. kindly said to me, when last in New York. "My daughter and I are now widows, living quietly in our pleasant home, and 1 want you to come mere wuuoui warning whenever you are in New York, unless you have other friends whom you prefer to visit." So I bk 41 go as if on a shopping trip, and stay as long as it seems best. 1 would preter going to sirs, in ion to any. where elss, but I hesitate to ask her to re eei tn. I feel sure, however, that wordi from you to her should go into that paper, and with her consent, fcould write as one commissioned from on high. Do not fail me, I pray you. Meet me at noon Friday, as you hope to meet your own mother in heaven. In her name I beseech, and I will take no denial. Ever yours, in love unspeakable, Belle. to Tilton that Beecher might write to Mrs. Tilton. because all oar ties bad then come to the conclusion that there f bould be no communication between Beecher and Mrs. Tilton or Beecher and Tilton, except with my knowledge and consent, and I had exacted a promise irom Hee.her that be should not communicate with Mrs. Tilton, or allow her to communicate with him, unless I saw the communication; which promise I believe was on his part faithfully kept, and, as I soon found, was not on the part of Mrs. Tilton. Permission was given to Beecher to write to Mrs. Tilton. He then wrote the letter of February 7, 1871, in which he says to her: "When I taw you last I did not expect ever to see yeu again, or be - alive many days." , This was a letter of commendation, so that Mrs. Tilton might trust me as between her and her husband as fully as Beecher did. . Meanwhile Mr. Beecher's friends were continually annoying him and writing him about Tilton and rumors that were afloat in regard to both, and on the 13th of February Beecher received the following letter from his nephew, F. B. Perkins, which he (Beecher) handed me with a draft of a reply on the 23d of the same February, which he sent without showing me again, and upon that draft I made the following note. I herewith greduce these documents, marked O, R and respectively: . . FIRXtXS TO BEECHES. New York, , 13, 1871. My DearUncIe: ' After some consideration I decide to inform you of a matter concerning you. Tilton has been justifying, or excusing, his recent intrigues with women by alleging that you have been detected in the like adulteries, the same having been hushed up out of consideration for the parties. This 1 know. I have thought other people base, but Theodore Tilton has, in this action, dived into the very sub-cellar of the very backhouse of infamy. In case you should choose to let him know of this I am responsible, and don't seek any concealment. Very truly yours, F. B. Perkins. P. S.I can't say Tilton said "adultery." He was referring to his late intrigues with Mrs. - and others, however he may have described them. What I am informed of is the excuse by implicating you in similar affairs. F. B.

Mv Dear Fred Whatever Mr. Tilton formerly said against me (and 1 know the subitance of it) he baa withdrawn, and frankly confessed that he had been misled by the statements of one who, when confronted, backed down from bis. charges. In some sense I am in part to blame for his indignation, for I lent a credulous ear to reports about bim which I have reason to believe were exaggerated or wholly false. After a full conference and e.xplana- ti n there remains between us no misunderstanding, but mutual good will and reconci lation have taken the place of exasperation.

Mrs. Judge Morse : , Mv Deb Madam I should be very sorry to have you thiak I had no interest in your troubles. My couise toward you hitherto should satisfy jou that I have sympathized with your distress; but Mrs. Beecher and I, ' after full consideration, are of one n ind, that, nnder present circumstances, the greatest kindness to you and to all will be, in so - tar aa we are concerned, to leave to time ine , rectification of all the wrongs, whether they prove real or imaginary. Mrs. Morse says: 'Tilton has sent with the others away." I purposely omit the name of this young girl. Ibe reason why it was desirable she should be sent away from Brooklyn, as given me by Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, ws this: tibe had overheard conversation bv them concerning Mrs, 'filton's criminal intimacy with Beecher, and she had lepoited these conversations to several friends of the lami y. , Being young and not knowing ihe cunse- . quentes of h,r prattling, it seemed proper for the lufetv nf Hie twn families that 8he should Be sent to a distance to school, which was accordingly done, the was put at a I oarding school at the West and the expenses of ber stay there were probably paid through me by Beecher, to whom 1 liad stated the difficulty of haviog the girl remain in Brooklyn, and he agreed with us that it was nest mat sne suoiuu be removed, and offered to be at the cost of her schooling. The bills were sent ms trom time to time as iney uecarae uue, a part of tbem through Mrs. '1 ilton. Previous to her going away she wrote the following letters to Mi s. Tilton, and they were sent to me by Mrs. T. as a part of these transactions: Brooklyn', Jan. 19, 1871. My Dear Mrs, Tilton: I want to tell vou something.

I have been pertnaded that ihe Kind attentions Bnown me ny i. iuuu fur years wtre dishonorable demonstrations. I never at the time thought that Mr. 1 ilton's caresses were fur such a purpose. I do not want to be made use of by Mrs. Morse or any one else to bring trouble on my two best friends you and your husband, fy-by.

The underscoring is his own and when I read in that horrible story that he begged a few hours notice that he might kill himself, my mind flew back to this sentence which suggested Eaicide to me the moment I read it, 'Living or dead, dear sister Belle, love me," and I believed even that.

Iam utterly alone, and my heart aches for that woman even as lor my own ttfsh and hlnnd. I do not understand her. but I know her to be pure and unselfish, and absolutely driven by some power foreign to herself to these strange utlerances, which uinets of both Mr. Tilton and his wife required it,or seemed to, and the very possible further fact that he preferred to disclose it but took the advice of a few of his leading friends ia the church and was overruled by them, they agreeing to take the resporui-bility of concealment. This would take off somewhat from the (hypocricy of the thing, but leaves the one great crime as open to condemnation as ever. But enough of this, only let me request vou te keen me informed of all that occurs, ond do not rely upon my getting the news from the Boston Advertiser that Mrs. W. has employed two Bo3ton lawyers (it gives tneir names) to oring auit against the Republican and Woman's Journal. So it looks as if the exposure is now at hand. I want to say one word more, however. Can you not let the report get out after the H. matter becomes public without being exactly responsible for it; that ion have kept up friendship with Mrs. "W.1' in the hope of influencing her not to publish the story, you having learned its truth and that is substantially the fact as I have understood it; and that you give up going to Europe with me so as to be at home and comfort H. when the truth came out, as you expected it to do in the course of the summer. This will give the appearance of Belt-sacrifice to your affiliation with her, and will explain your not coming aoroaa witn me, a fact which has a very unwifelike look. I know that you will otherwise be regarded as holding Mrs. W.'s views, and that we shall be regarded as living in some discord, and probably by many people as practicing her principles, it wouia ne a great retiei to me to have your relations to Mrs. W. explained in this way, so creditable to your heart. There is not half the untruth in it that there has been all along in my pretend ed approval of Mrs. Woodhull's course, and vet people think me an honest man. I nave lied enough about that to ruin the character of an average man, aud have probably dam-eged myself by it." After Beecher had seen these letters from his sister (Mrs. Hooker), he came to me in trouble and alarm and handed me all the letters together, with one under date of No vember 27, witn an inciosure cut irom me Hartford Times, which was alluded to: Mas.

"My daughter and I are now widows, living quietly in our pleasant home, and 1 want you to come mere wuuoui warning whenever you are in New York, unless you have other friends whom you prefer to visit."

Ever yours, in love unspeakable, Belle. to Tilton that Beecher might write to Mrs. Tilton. because all oar ties bad then come to the conclusion that there f bould be no communication between Beecher and Mrs. Tilton or Beecher and Tilton, except with my knowledge and consent, and I had exacted a promise irom Hee.her that be should not communicate with Mrs. Tilton, or allow her to communicate with him, unless I saw the communication; which promise I believe was on his part faithfully kept, and, as I soon found, was not on the part of Mrs. Tilton. Permission was given to Beecher to write to Mrs. Tilton. He then wrote the letter of February 7, 1871, in which he says to her: "When I taw you last I did not expect ever to see yeu again, or be - alive many days." , This was a letter of commendation, so that Mrs. Tilton might trust me as between her and her husband as fully as Beecher did. . Meanwhile Mr. Beecher's friends were continually annoying him and writing him about Tilton and rumors that were afloat in regard to both, and on the 13th of February Beecher received the following letter from his nephew, F. B. Perkins, which he (Beecher) handed me with a draft of a reply on the 23d of the same February, which he sent without showing me again, and upon that draft I made the following note. I herewith greduce these documents, marked O, R and respectively: . . FIRXtXS TO BEECHES. New York, , 13, 1871. My DearUncIe: ' After some consideration I decide to inform you of a matter concerning you. Tilton has been justifying, or excusing, his recent intrigues with women by alleging that you have been detected in the like adulteries, the same having been hushed up out of consideration for the parties. This 1 know. I have thought other people base, but Theodore Tilton has, in this action, dived into the very sub-cellar of the very backhouse of infamy. In case you should choose to let him know of this I am responsible, and don't seek any concealment. Very truly yours, F. B. Perkins. P. S.I can't say Tilton said "adultery." He was referring to his late intrigues with Mrs. - and others, however he may have described them. What I am informed of is the excuse by implicating you in similar affairs. F. B.

In some sense I am in part to blame for his indignation, for I lent a credulous ear to reports about bim which I have reason to believe were exaggerated or wholly false. After a full conference and e.xplana- ti n there remains between us no misunderstanding, but mutual good will and reconci lation have taken the place of exasperation.

So he virtuously attacked the Banner man, intimating that he bad done the same thing that Ananias and our correspondent did, and demanding to know " who the Vethodist preacher ia to which whom reference ia made in the above."

Mrs. Judge Morse : , Mv Deb Madam I should be very sorry to have you thiak I had no interest in your troubles. My couise toward you hitherto should satisfy jou that I have sympathized with your distress; but Mrs. Beecher and I, ' after full consideration, are of one n ind, that, nnder present circumstances, the greatest kindness to you and to all will be, in so - tar aa we are concerned, to leave to time ine , rectification of all the wrongs, whether they prove real or imaginary. Mrs. Morse says: 'Tilton has sent with the others away." I purposely omit the name of this young girl. Ibe reason why it was desirable she should be sent away from Brooklyn, as given me by Mr. and Mrs. Tilton, ws this: tibe had overheard conversation bv them concerning Mrs, 'filton's criminal intimacy with Beecher, and she had lepoited these conversations to several friends of the lami y. , Being young and not knowing ihe cunse- . quentes of h,r prattling, it seemed proper for the lufetv nf Hie twn families that 8he should Be sent to a distance to school, which was accordingly done, the was put at a I oarding school at the West and the expenses of ber stay there were probably paid through me by Beecher, to whom 1 liad stated the difficulty of haviog the girl remain in Brooklyn, and he agreed with us that it was nest mat sne suoiuu be removed, and offered to be at the cost of her schooling. The bills were sent ms trom time to time as iney uecarae uue, a part of tbem through Mrs. '1 ilton. Previous to her going away she wrote the following letters to Mi s. Tilton, and they were sent to me by Mrs. T. as a part of these transactions: Brooklyn', Jan. 19, 1871. My Dear Mrs, Tilton: I want to tell vou something. Your mother ( Mrs Morsel has reneatedly attempt ed to hire me by offerirg me money and presents to go to certain persons and tell th.m stories injurious to the character ot your husband. I have been pertnaded that ihe Kind attentions Bnown me ny i. iuuu fur years wtre dishonorable demonstrations. I never at the time thought that Mr. 1 ilton's caresses were fur such a purpose. I do not want to be made use of by Mrs. Morse or any one else to bring trouble on my two best friends you and your husband, fy-by.
