I cannot answer this question definitively because there is not enough context provided. "Before SHSE knew him" implies a prior period of unawareness concerning a relationship between someone named Richard Matthew and an entity or person referred to as "SHSE". To provide a meaningful answer, I need more information. Who or what is SHSE? What is the nature of the relationship between Richard Matthew and SHSE? What kind of information are you looking for regarding Richard Matthew's father?
To help me answer your question, please provide more details, such as:
- Who or what is SHSE? Is it a person, an organization, a school, etc.?
- What is the context? Is this from a book, a historical record, a personal account, etc.?
- What specifically do you want to know about Richard Matthew's father? Are you interested in his name, profession, relationship with Richard, etc.?
With more information, I can attempt a more comprehensive and accurate answer.
