William Jones Burdett was the brother of Sir Francis Burdett and was also involved in reform politics. Three of the four contacts are at Horne Tooke's, and refer to either '2 Burdett's' or Burdett junr. The fourth contact is a letter in 1806 from W J Burdett. This letter and related correspondence refers to Godwin's letter to Francis Burdett two weeks prior to express his concern that he will not be in a position to meet the two notes of £100 that were due on the first of November 1806. In a further letter to W J Burdett on the 31 October Godwin expresses pain at the tone of Burdett's note and confesses he is unable to meet them.
