Wednesday 6 February 1661

Called up by my Cozen Snow, who sat by me while I was trimmed, and then I drank with him, he desiring a courtesy for a friend, which I have done for him.  Then to the office, and there sat long, then to dinner, Captain Murford with me.  I had a dish of fish and a good hare, which was sent me the other day by Goodenough the plasterer.  So to the office again, where Sir W. Pen and I sat all alone, answering of petitions and nothing else, and so to Sir W. Batten's, where comes Mr. Jessop (one whom I could not formerly have looked upon, and now he comes cap in hand to us from the Commissioners of the Navy, though indeed he is a man of a great estate and of good report), about some business from them to us, which we answered by letter.  Here I sat long with Sir W., who is not well, and then home and to my chamber, and some little, music, and so to bed.
