Godwin wrote to several booksellers outside London on four of the dates above. On 18.11.1809 he called on Mozley and then 12 booksellers in London. Perhaps the provincial bookseller was visiting London, or perhaps Godwin called first on Jacob Mozley, slopseller 34 Upper East Smithfield (near to Skinner-st) or on Morris Lewin Mozley, merchant & warehouseman of 40 Threadneedle-st and 20 Walbrook, bankrupt August 1810, at John's coffee house Cornhill in Holdens directory 1811, and in Kings Bench prison in 1812. He (or one of his relatives of the same name) was a watchmaker and jeweller in Liverpool in 1796 and Turkey & Levant Consul in Liverpool in 1821. But all the write to entries were probably Henry Mozley bookseller Gainsborough, moved to Derby 1815 (bbti). Also in bbti: Robert Mozley Sheffield bookseller, carver & gilder 1793 to 1797 and R Moseley Leeds engraver, printseller, carver & gilder 1809 to 1811, those two probably the same person or family. The administrations of 14.5.1810 applied presumably to Withers (qv) only.
