Does anyone know of a reliable source for the author of the following quote:

"My apologies for this letter being so long. Had I more time, it would have been shorter."

I have seen it attributed to Cicero, Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. Additionally, please let me know whether I have quoted stated correctly.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
