Westmorland Gazette, 13 September 1823:-
SIR
In your letter of last week, addressed to Mr. Greenwood,
Surveyor, you state that he commenced an attack on Mr.
Hodgson, by causing a certain paragraph to be inserted in
both the Kendal Papers, on the 21st June, which paragraph
you have quoted from the Chronicle alone. Had you referred
to the Gazette, you would have instantly perceived that it
was a slight error of the Press (the word this being
inserted instead of the) that caused the "Yorkshireisms" in
the Chronicle, and not a delinquency of Literary Talent in
the Author; but in consequence of the imputations cast upon
Mr. Greenwood's abilities in this case, I have transcribed
his manuscript in order to convince you that the fault was
ours not his.
I am Sir,
Yours, &c.
THE EDITOR.
