J. Duncombe, of Benet College, Cambridge, to Samuel Richardson, 15 October 1751: 'Mr Graham is not in Cambridge; but his brother is, who is [...] very ingenious, and expressed a great desire to be acquainted with you,as he already thoroughly is with your writings [...] The short epigram which Mr Graham sent you was wrote by himself, and is much liked here, because we think it partakes of the sublime simplicity of the ancients.'
