Michael Wodhull [?].
Orig. "L L."; Kuist 82: 156 lists multiple attributions to Wodhull under the signature "L.L." beginning in 1785. Since the Nichols family annotators who compiled what is now the Kuist list made no effort at a systematic attribution of items in the GM before vol. 53-i (1783), the absence of earlier attributions to Wodhull under the signature "L.L." does not militate against Wodhull's possible authorship of items so signed in earlier volumes.
