At home looking over my papers and books and house as to the fitting of it to my mind till two in the afternoon.  Some time I spent this morning beginning to teach my wife some scale in music, and found her apt beyond imagination.  To the Privy Seal, where great store of work to-day.  Colonel Scroope is this day excepted out of the Act of Indemnity, which has been now long in coming out, but it is expected to- morrow.  I carried home 80l. from the Privy Seal, by coach, and at night spent a little more time with my wife about her music with great content. This day I heard my poor mother had then two days been very ill, and I fear she will not last long.  To bed, a little troubled that I fear my boy Will1 is a thief and has stole some money of mine, particularly a letter that Mr. Jenkins did leave the last week with me with half a crown in it to send to his son.
