2.6.1796 Ne jr at Northcote's / 17.5.1800 dine at Milton Gallery with Northcote; sup at Hoare's with N / 2.6.1800 pere at Northcote's

This must mean Northcote junior but there is nothing in James Northcote DNB 1736-1831 to suggest who that could have been. Northcote was unmarried with one older brother and one sister.
