19.1.1808 Mrs Hutton calls
This was the only instance of the name Hutton in Godwin's diary, so it's hard to make any definite identity, but I think it was quite probably Catherine Hutton DNB 1756-1846. She was unmarried but aged 52 so it would be normal if a little old fashioned for Godwin to call her Mrs Hutton. Her novels had not yet been published. Read her DNB article and judge for yourself. There may be among her letters and diaries at Birmingham something which could confirm or deny my guess
8.1.1808 dine at Joseph Johnson's w. Percival
6.1.1808 write to Birket
4.1.1808 call on Hankey
Joseph Hume DNB 1767-1844. Mentioned 540 times in Godwin's diary, only exceeded by Godwin's second wife, his two children, James Marshall, Thomas Holcroft, Charles Lamb, Thomas Turner, David Booth and John Fenwick. The DNB knows very little about him and most of their article concerns a practical joke he and Lamb played on William Hazlitt. He was born 9.4.1764 in Bishopsgate Street, London son of John Hume and Sarah Weatherly, who had been married on 14.3.1758 at St Augustine Watling St, London as bachelor and spinster.
