18 Feb 1809 Drury Lane £10 Mr. Degville Payment date written in account book is 20 February, apparently in error.
23 Feb 1809 Drury Lane £10 Mr. Degville The account book's layout suggests this payment was made on or attributed to 23 February. But 24 February may well have been the actual date, as that is the date more clearly assigned to most of the payments listed in this batch. Moreover, the scribe seems to have decided not to write any dates beyond Drury Lane's conflagration of 24 February, meaning that this and other payments may in fact have been made after that date, but been attributed to 23 or 24 February for convenience's sake.
