Batelier and his sister
Mary and my wife and I in one, and Mercer alone in the other);
and after being examined at Allgate whether we were husbands and
wives, home. So to bed mighty sleepy, but with much pleasure.
Reeves lying at my house; and mighty proud I am (and ought to be
thankful to God Almighty) that I am able to have a spare bed for
my friends.
9th. In the evening to Lumbard-street, about money, to enable me
to pay Sir G. Carteret's 3000l. which he hath lodged in my hands,
in behalf of his son and my Lady Jemimah, towards their portion.
Mrs. Rawlinson is dead of the sickness, and her maid continues
mighty ill. He himself is got out of the house. I met with Mr.
Evelyn in the street, who tells me the sad condition at this very
day at Deptford, for the plague, and more at Deale, (within his
precinct as one of the Commissioners for sick and wounded
seamen,) that the towne is almost quite depopulated.
10th. Homeward, and hear in Fenchurch-street, that now the maid
also is dead at Mr. Rawlinson's; so that there are three dead in
all, the wife, a man-servant, and maid-servant.
