Sir:—I am sure your nice sense of justice will induce you to correct an inaccuracy which appeared in The Times of Monday, where, in printing Lady Byron's letter, you express a belief that “it is a more perfect copy than that published in the Literary Gazette.“ If you had had time, or thought it worth while, to compare the documents, you would have found that your copy was literatim, even to the italics, the same with that of the Literary Gazette; the only difference being two typographical errors in The Times, by which the words inferences and uncertainty (lines 95 and 119) were misprinted, to the evident injury of the sense, interference and circumstance.

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 Literary Gazette, it was immediately pirated in the most scandalous manner, and made the subject of extraordinary puffing by a pseudo fashionable weekly journal.
