2.12.1807 miss Atkins,calls, F Buildings
F Buildings was likely Featherstone-buildings, Holborn. Because at this point Godwin was seeing the actors in his forthcoming play Faulkener, she may possibly have had a minor role in it. Otherwise I could not identify her

Coming between calls on Richard Wordsworth attorney and Joslyn at Doctors Commons, this could have been some legal official but I found none in the 1800 Law List of that name, the nearest to that I found was William Batchelor a watchman of Smithfield in 1811 (Old Bailey Online)
