[THE Author is exceedingly obliged to the Gentleman who has taken the trouble, in so candid a manner, to correct an error into which he had unintentionally fallen. Truth, without prejudice or partiality, has been preserved, as far as it was possible, with the ut|most assiduity, to procure it amidst that hurry and confusion, and that variety of reports which, at the moment the Pamphlet was written, prevailed. The London Association deserves every acknowledgement, every praise, not only that the Author, but that the Kingdom can bestow. The liberty of printing the following Letter, it is presumed, the Author of it will forgive, if not approve; and the original mistake is left as in the first Edition, that those who have not read that Edition may perceive the whole affair. As the following Letter does the Writer of it great ho|nour in several respects, his Name and Address should have been inserted, as on the card he inclosed, but that it was not known whether the insertion would have been agreeable to his inclinations.]
