H.N. is not William Dilworth. There is a separate chapter in Dudley's
book about Dilworth, and Dudley identifies Dilworth by name in the
endnotes. But Dudley does not identify H.N. in the endnotes.
I am happy to contact Underwood Dudley directly if someone can tell me
how. I was unable to find contact information for him after a casual web
search.
