AT LEAST ONE INTERESTING LETTER COMES TO LIGHT London, July 16. Desire to avoid publicity that might be given a cor respondence of many years is said to have led to the settlement made yesterday out of court by executors of the estate of the late J. P. Morgan of the claim of the Countess de Bechevet-Beauregard for $30,000. It f" is understood the executors agreed to return the vase, pedestal and pic ture for the sale of which to Morgan the countess, demanded $30,000 and are to pay her $5,000 and defray all her legal costs. The countess, who has kept copies of all her letters to the late financier, intending to present them to him bound at some time, says Morgan conducted his correspondence with her through the medium of the news papers, as it was against his prin ciple to write letters. One of the let ters written by the countess reads: "Friend Beloved A woman of any worth would only love one of whom she had a right to be proud, and so at this moment I permit my heart to give way quite freely to passion, and do not subject It to the horrors of deprivation under the pretext of be ing strong-minded. It is in confi dence that it flies to you. You may say what you think of It, but you will not destroy, I am sure, that posses sion to be admired. And though this affection must be, for me, a little strange, I ask of the destinies that they may surround it with all felicity, which will be to me the poetry of happiness. - Hoping to see you again very soon, desired friend, and as one must always belong to some one, I am with f joy yours.
