17.3.1799 mrs Foulkes, SC, EM at Holcroft's / mrs Curson calls 25.5.1799 / S Curson calls 27.5.1799 / S Cuxson at tea 29.5.1799 / call on mrs Cuxson 2.6.1799

The two Curson entries were clearly Godwin's misreading (the cataloguer of the Abinger manuscripts has made the same mistake) of the name in the letter (Abinger c14 f76-7) in which S Cuxson asked Godwin to comfort an afflicted being for an hour or two. Dated Friday evening it fits best with the call of mrs Cu(r)son on Godwin on Saturday 25.5.1799. In another letter (Abinger c14 f78-9) (s)he asked him to keep a secret. The GD…
