7.12.1795 call on Sme with Holcroft (not at home) / 3.1.1796 Sm breakfasts / 22.5.1812 call on Sme (not in)

Robert Smirke DNB 1753-1845, in the GD website under person record for plain Smirke, because of hisĀ "large family of artists". But in 1795 his father was dead and his eldest child just 17. Given his known radical sympathies he is the obvious candidate for the 1795 entries and the abbreviated entries above fit the pattern of Godwin's contacts with him
