For the five other uses of Philip (without a surname and non-fictional) in Godwin's diary, see my entry for Taylor, Philip. The 1810 entry above could refer to George Dawe's father Philp Dawe DNB, see my entry for Dawe, Philip in Amendments to DNB dataset with his possible dates 1748-1819. The combination of Wilson & Philip in 1810 and 1830 may have been coincidental as the two entries were twenty years apart.…
Philips grocer calls 22.3.1804
There were seven grocers called Phillips in London listed in Holden's 1811 directory, and one greengrocer. Perhaps the most likely (because the nearest to Godwin) was Robert Phillips grocer & tea dealer of 13 Somes Place, Somers Town
6.11.1795 mrs Philips adv at Inchbald's / 3.4.1801 Philips calls adv mrs P
The 1801 entry was surely the wife of Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1840. Mrs Philips at Mrs Inchbald's could just possibly be her too, as her husband moved to London in 1795, but Godwin didn't meet him till he called on 28.12.1795

Richard Phillips DNB 1767-1840 had married Elizabeth Griffiths in 1796. They had a daughter Eliza born 1797 and another Emily born 1800. In theory E Philkips could have been mother or either daughter but my guess would be the 6 year old daughter, particularly if the Godwin girls were all at home. Richard Philips was knighted on 30.3.1808 and Godwin consistently used La. for Lady

When Godwin used an initial with a new surname in his diary it sometimes meant the person was female (but not consistently). Edward Rowland Pickering was an attorney of 8 Staples Inn in Holden's 1811 and also had a house at 37 Bernard St. But the only London attorneys called Pickering in 1800 were Ralph P of Old Fish St and Thomas…

the Godwin Diary editors have avoided explaining Godwin's words in Greek letters, using squares to represent them. Perhaps their Greek is as weak as mine but for completeness I've included them anyway.
I think these may mean piss or urine. please enlighten me
