letter from Dawne 23.3.1804

Perhaps George Dawne attorney Bridge Court Westminster 1794, 4 Brydges St Covent Garden 1800, Henrietta St Covt Gdn 1805, Southampton St Covt Gdn 1818 voted Burdett & Romilly, his will PCC 1826 gent of Southampton St Covt Gdn. No particular reason to make that identification

miss Hole at tea 22.3,1804 (& Hannah Godwin)

Godwin's sister Hannah brought many of her apprentices and assistants in her millinery business to meet her brother. This was probably one more such but that is just speculation

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

call on Cha. Taylor 12.7.1804

Perhaps Charles Taylor DNB 1756-1823. According to the DNB he was a deeply conservative man but in 1801 the London Library was moved to his premises at 108 Hatton Garden where it remained for several years, which may have been relevant to the purpose of Godwin's call

adv (Place & Le Maitre) Buchan & Harwood 18.3.1804 at H(olcroft's)

Exactly why Place  & Le Maitre are in brackets in this entry isn't clear but I think the Place referred to was likely to have been Francis Place DNB 1771-1854 who has a person record on GD website and played a considerable part in Godwin's life from 1809 on
