Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 62: February 1667-68

The diarist records a sequence of daily entries documenting work-related responsibilities and administrative tasks, including board meetings, accounting, and preparations for contractual and official business. He recounts interactions with commissioners and a formal inquiry about seized prize goods that threaten possible financial refund and personal anxiety. Interleaved are domestic scenes—organizing books, household building projects, meals with his wife and servants, and social visits to the theater, nurseries, and acquaintances. He also describes involvement in a legal inquest over a neighbor's husband's death, reflections on his mood and fears, and practical arrangements to protect estates and money.
