It seems possible that Godwin
may have corresponded with Lydia Wollstonecraft,
Mary's step-mother in 1805-6. There are three entries to
L Wt, and it is difficult to see to whom else this might refer, although
Edward Bland Wollstonecraft also married a Lydia. The contacts with
L Wt are letters, and we have thus far been unable to trace these.
Godwin also refers to a young Wollstonecraft at the same time as he
corresponds with L Wt. Given that the only issue of Wollstonecrafts of Mary's family seem
to be female, and there's no suggestion that young Wt is female, it is
possible that this might be a child of Mary's father's second marriage but
there is little or nothing about this marriage in biographies of Mary.
Wt junr appears three times in 1806: 16 January; 2 and 9 March.
