Richard Grant White's retained copy. Apologizes for writing a letter, the printed copy of which he enclosed and states "the mistake which it corrects is of so extraordinary a nature, & [is] so harmful to me that some such step was unavoidable." Unclear the substance of the correction, but later annotation by White states "Sent -- No correction made -- no apology. May 1879."
