Wednesday 3 July 1661

To Westminster to Mr. Edward Montagu about business of my Lord's, and so to the Wardrobe, and there dined with my Lady, who is in some mourning for her brother, Mr. Saml.  Crew, who died yesterday of the spotted fever.  So home through Duck Lane to inquire for some Spanish books, but found none that pleased me.  So to the office, and that being done to Sir W. Batten's with the Comptroller, where we sat late talking and disputing with Mr. Mills the parson of our parish.  This day my Lady Batten and my wife were at the burial of a daughter of Sir John Lawson's, and had rings for themselves and their husbands.--[?? D.W.]  Home and to bed.
