Godwin's calls on 28.11.1809 were mainly on booksellers, starting from Rivington at St Pauls and then via Knowles at the Navy Office in the Strand to Goddard in Haymarket, Hatchard, Sharpe and Stockdale in Piccadilly to Tabart in Picadilly or Bond-st. If Hume was Godwin's friend Joseph Hume as coded in GD website he is said to have worked in the Victualling Office Smerset-place (though he wasn't listed there in Holdens directory that mentioned every minor clerk) and he may have had another connection in the Strand as Joseph Hume of Notting Hill insured 15 & 16 Strand (Skill, oilman) SunFire 1804. George Leigh (with John Sotheby 145 Strand (1804-1816) booksellers & auctioneers) was likely this Leigh and may also have been the other three Leigh entries above.
