                <p xml:id="T-1"> Sir:—I am sure your nice sense of justice will induce you to correct an inaccuracy
                    which appeared in <name type="title" key="TheTimes"><hi rend="italic">The Times</hi></name> of
                    Monday, where, in printing <persName key="LyByron">Lady Byron's</persName> letter, you express
                    a belief that &#8220;<q>it is a more perfect copy than that published in the <name type="title"
                            key="LiteraryGaz"><hi rend="italic">Literary Gazette</hi></name>.</q>&#8220; If you had
                    had time, or thought it worth while, to compare the documents, you would have found that your
                    copy was <hi rend="italic">literatim</hi>, even to the <hi rend="italic">italics</hi>, the same
                    with that of the <name type="title"><hi rend="italic">Literary Gazette;</hi></name> the only
                    difference being two typographical errors in <name type="title"><hi rend="italic">The
                            Times</hi></name>, by which the words <hi rend="italic">inferences</hi> and <hi
                        rend="italic">uncertainty</hi> (lines 95 and 119) were misprinted, to the evident injury of
                    the sense, <hi rend="italic">interference</hi> and <hi rend="italic">circumstance</hi>. </p>

                <p xml:id="T-2"> I am the more desirous to have this accidental misrepresentation set right,
                    because, though the letter, which must be the cause of farther explanations, appeared
                    originally and exclusively in the <name type="title" key="LiteraryGaz"><hi rend="italic"
                            >Literary Gazette</hi></name>, it was immediately pirated in the most scandalous
                    manner, and made the subject of extraordinary puffing by a pseudo fashionable <name
                        type="title" key="CourtJournal">weekly journal</name>. </p>

                <l rend="indent80"> I am, Sir, yours obediently, <lb/>

                <p xml:id="T-3"> ⁂ We very readily insert this letter: we have only to say that the document, in
                    form of a pamphlet, was sent to us by an eminent friend of the family, with the remark which
                    seems to have given umbrage. </p>
