“Dear Sir,—
“My only reason for omitting your poetical article in our last number, was that it came too late, and I fear the subject is now too stale. The newspaper Com. cut was inserted, and I wish you to continue the article; but I think it would have more effect if you arrange the extracts, so that those which contradict each other should be together.
“I beg leave to suggest that you have it in your power to furnish us monthly with an article, which, I think, would produce a considerable effect, under the title of ‘Newspaper inconsistencies and falsehoods.’ We very frequently read in one paper that a person is dying, in another of the same day, that he is giving splendid dinners. That the Duke of Anything was at one place, and then at another, &c., &c., &c., &c.; which your judgment would enable you to contrast in a whimsical and entertaining manner. If you can let me have an article of this description by Sunday, twelve o’clock, it shall be inserted in our next number.
“I am, Sir, yours truly,
