About This Item
31 January 1739/40. 1 page, 8 x 6 inches, in good condition. Samuel Ogden (1716-1778), classical scholar and orientalist, was the same age as Thomas Ashton. They both went up to Kings College Cambridge in 1733, and both were ordained. However, the connection is not entirely proven. ...I beg my Crimes may be imputed to their real Cause. Do not think that a sign of Disrespect, which ten to one is a Proof of nothing but my late rising. I have often been displeasd with myself; but never with you. Tho I am almost angry at you now, for thinking me so. Dear Ashton, yours ever, Ogden.
