17th. Up, and to the office, where very busy all the morning, and then in the afternoon I with Sir W. Penn and Sir T. Harvy to Whitehall to attend the Duke of York, who is now as well as ever, and there we did our usual business with him, and so away home with Sir W. Penn, and there to the office, where pretty late doing business, my wife having been abroad all day with Mrs. Turner buying of one thing or other. This day I do hear at Whitehall that the Duke of Monmouth is sick, and in danger of the smallpox. So home to supper and to bed.
