Mrs Dunbar and F Dunbar were probably the same person, Godwin often used initials for female acquaintances, and as they became more frequently mentioned in the diary he would sometimes begin to use just a plain surname, though actresses and authoresses tended to get the plain surname earlier or even at first meeting. But in the last entry above, the twenty year gap meant it was unlikely to be the same person.
