I think it's the first one (with a little bit of the last). Not necessarily a *serious* priority dispute, but often with events like this, different authors have different recollections of what happened. Here, presumably, Read thinks he wrote about the error to Wright first, while Wright thinks it was the other way around. Usually not worth mentioning, but the authors chose to add the sentence for the play on words. Wonderful, thanks!
