whom took physic to-day), and so I went up to his chamber, and there
having made an end of the business I returned to White Hall by water, and
dined with my Lady Sandwich, who at table did tell me how much fault was
laid upon Dr. Frazer and the rest of the Doctors, for the death of the
Princess! My Lord did dine this day with Sir Henry Wright, in order to

great pleasure, and so to bed with great content.

29th. Within all the morning. Several people to speak with me; Mr.
