Thursday 12 February 1663

Up and find myself pretty well, and so to the office, and there all the morning.  Rose at noon and home to dinner in my green chamber, having a good fire.  Thither there came my wife's brother and brought Mary Ashwell with him, whom we find a very likely person to please us, both for person, discourse, and other qualitys.  She dined with us, and after dinner went away again, being agreed to come to us about three weeks or a month hence.  My wife and I well pleased with our choice, only I pray God I may be able to maintain it.  Then came an old man from Mr. Povy, to give me some advice about his experience in the stone, which I [am] beholden to him for, and was well pleased with it, his chief remedy being Castle soap in a posset.  Then in the evening to the office, late writing letters and my Journall since Saturday, and so home to supper and to bed.
