THOMAS HOWE . «*¦ Dear Sir , May 14 , 1816 . " As your letter ta the Editor of the Monthly Repository discovers an esteem , for the late Mr . Web&s

    character , I dou&t net you will do it justice , by rectifying , t $ ie mistake in . your acceuftt of the Pajiharmonicoii . This , I assure yoa , Sir , was delineated by . Mm many years before he resided in Somer setshire , where his intimacy commenced with Mr . Nicholetts j and as the plate in soaie parts of it appeared almost obliterated . Mr . Webb was

    greatly obliged to that gentleman , for taking an elegant copy of the whole plate , from which the engraver performed his -gtfork . - *'' •** I must also wish you to correct the mistake contained in a note . Mr . Webb was not sent on any private embassy ; he-went merely as Secretary to Sir Isaac Heard , who was sent to

    invest the I Prince of Hesse with the Oder of the Garter . v I flatter myself thai ; your goodness will pardon this trouble . As your having been misinformed will appear frem yourself with more propriety ,

    m the same publication , than from any other hand , I thought it a duty due to your character , to make , you rhis communication * several friends having already observed the mistake , and wished you to be informed of it . I am , Sir , with great respect and esteem , r Your . unknown friend .
