Excerpt from A Letter to Henry Duncombe, Esq.: Member for the County of York, on the Subject of the Very Extraordinary Pamphlet, Lately Addressed by Mr. Burke to a Noble Lord A Passage is omitted in the thirty-third page, in tenderness to the wounded feelings of some near relations of a gentleman who is no more, but on whose memory, not the most distant reflection was ever intended. In a few hours after the appearance of the first edition, three gentlemen called at my lodgings, and desired to speak to me, if I was perfectly at leisure; on being admitted, they announced themselves as the nearest relations of Mr. Burke; I requested them to be seated; they informed me that they waited on me, under great affliction of mind, in consequence of a passage in my letter which seemed to convey stigma their deceased friend, and which gave them inexpressible pain, - that they did not mean to enter into the subject of any other part of the letter. They acknowledged that they had nothing to do with it, but that they had been deeply affected, with what they had pointed out as objectionable, and, without confusing any one else, had resolved to wait on me and request it to be erased.
