'R Reynolds' first appears in 1800 and for the first five entries (including one to 'RR'), 1800-10, he is always in the company of Frederick Reynolds. Although it is possible Godwin meets Richard Reynolds, (1735–1816), ironmaster and philanthropist, we have no evidence to support this. It seems more likely that 'R Reynolds' is Frederick's brother Richard, a barrister, mentioned in Frederick's autobiography. 'R Reynolds' is thus coded for Richard throughout. The difficulty is distinguishing contact with Richard Reynolds senr from his nephew Richard Reynolds junr, younger son of Frederick Reynolds, after 1828. The use of 'RR' (between 1827 and 1836), when Godwin has begun using 'FR' for the younger Frederick Reynolds, suggests that these entries refer to the brother of the younger Reynolds.
