13th. Lay sleepy in bed till 8 in the morning, then up and to the office, where till about noon, then out to the ’Change and several places, and so home to dinner. Then out again to Sir R. Viner, and there to my content settled the business of two tallies, so as I shall have £2,000 almost more of my own money in my hand, which pleases me mightily, and so home and there to the office, where mighty busy, and then home to supper and to even my Journal and to bed. Our fleet being now in all points ready to sail, but for the carrying of the two or three new ships, which will keepe them a day or two or three more. It is said the Dutch is gone off our coast, but I have no good reason to believe it, Sir W. Coventry not thinking any such thing.
