Letter written from William Hone to a Mr. W. Ogle, Bookseller.
William Hone was an English writer and bookseller. It is possible he was communicating with Mr. Ogle of Ogle, Duncan and Cochran, a bookselling business located in London.
Note that A.H. Reed wrote in his description that Hone was born in 1799 - the correct date is actually 1780.
