6.11.1795 mrs Philips adv at Inchbald's / 3.4.1801 Philips calls adv mrs P
The 1801 entry was surely the wife of Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1840. Mrs Philips at Mrs Inchbald's could just possibly be her too, as her husband moved to London in 1795, but Godwin didn't meet him till he called on 28.12.1795
2.11.1795 at Richard Johnson's
Perhaps accompanying a daughter of the recently deceased James Boswell, Betsy aged 15 or more likely Euphemia aged 21. Not found the name in the indexes to Boswell's Journal
2.11.1795 miss Boswell at Richard Johnson's
Her father James Boswell DNB 1740-1795 was at Richard Johnson's on 8.1.1794 (Journal). He died on 19.5.1795 leaving three daughters, the eldest Veronica died in October 1795 aged 22. The youngest Elizabeth (Betsy) was aged 15 at a boarding school in Chelsea, so this is more likely to be Euphemia born 1774 will PCC 1837 spinster of Auchinleck. She would have been in mourning, for father and sister, and the other guest at Johnson's Mrs Sharpe was perhaps her 'chaperone'. See Elizabeth Ogborne (DNB 1763/4-1853).
