C Smith 2.5.1797 at John King's

The GD website has coded this entry to Charlotte Smith, but her position in the sequence of Godwin's 1796 list for 1797, after Bage (met 14.6.1797) and G Fordyce (met 7.7.1797), suggests that her taking tea at Godwin's on 13.7.1797 was their first meeting. The 1796 list also put sir Robert Smyth and Carrington Smith in that order immediately before Bage, and the diary noted them both at Joseph Johnson's on 9.5.1797, a week after the C Smith entry above. So it may have been Carrington Smith or some other C Smith at King's (see Smith, Carew).
