Letter to Theodore Tilton [manuscript], 1861 December 16.

Bowen writes that the editorial staff of the "Independent" has resigned as confirmed by a letter from [Leonard] Bacon, Thompson and Storrs. Tilton must call on [Lewis?] Tappan and have him come to the store so they can plan the next issue. He has a provisional arrangement with Henry Ward Beecher to be the next editor.
