King, about our sending of victuals to Sir Thomas Allen's fleet hence to
Cales [Cadiz] to meet him. And so back to my wife in my coach, and so

that Mr. Ackworth's cause went for him at Guildhall, against his
accusers, which I am well enough pleased with.
3rd. Up betimes, and by water with W. Hewer to White Hall, and there to
Mr. Wren, who gives me but small hopes of the favour I hoped for Mr.
