call on Downman 3.4.1802
Perhaps John Downman DNB 1750-1824 (which says he was itinerant after 1800). Compare call on Cosway 20.3.1802, both uncommon names, both could have been the artist of that name, and both called on by Godwin once but never featured in his diary again.

28.6.1807 Drew at Philips'
A Drew also appears later in Godwin's diary from 1826 to 1833 but I haven't researched him and he was unlikely to have been the same person. Among authors (since Phillips was a publisher) perhaps the most likely was Richard Drew whose Description of a balance level was published in Nicholson's Journal xx 344 (1808). I found no more about him unless he was Richard Drew attorney of 3 Cliffords Inn (Holdens 1802). Other less likely authors were Samuel Drew (DNB 1765-1833) a metaphysical Methodist, and the Rev Edward Drew a patriotic Anglican. In Holdens 1811…

HCR diary 29.12.1821 "Evening at Aders - the Masqueriers, Jenkins and a Mr & Mrs Dubusson were there - musick and engravings produced"
I found two or three possible couples. Thomas Du Buisson of Lawrence Pountney Lane merchant died 1843 at Newcastle upon Tyne age 65, his will PCC 1843. His father Peter will PCC 1813 of Glynhir, Carmarthenshire) had married Margaret Birt on 2.6.1775 at Newland, Gloucestershire, and he married Elizabeth Birt on 23.10.1809 also at Newland.

tea, Duke Street 3.7.1798
Godwin sometimes identified a venue by address rather than name. It seems likely this was one of his contacts named in the diary but I haven't at present guessed whom. It may emerge later or please add comment. Or try searching my website on "Duke St"
