27th. At the office all the morning, at noon dined at home, and then my wife, and Deb., and I to the King’s playhouse, and saw The Indian Queen, but do not dote upon Nan Marshall’s acting therein, as the world talks of her excellence therein. Thence with my wife to buy some linen, £13 worth, for sheets, etc., at the new shop over against the New Exchange; [and the master, who is] come out of London since the fire, says his and other tradesmen’s retail trade is so great here, and better than it was in London, that they believe they shall not return, nor the city be ever so great for retail as heretofore. So home and to my business, and to bed.
