Samuel Pepys' Diary. 6th July 1667. Thence by coach home, and there wrote a few letters, and then to consult with my wife about going to Epsum to-morrow, sometimes designing to go and then again not; and at last it grew late and I bethought myself of business to employ me at home tomorrow, and so I did not go. This afternoon I met with Mr. Rolt, who tells me that he is going Cornett under Collonel Ingoldsby [aged 49], being his old acquaintance, and Ingoldsby hath a troop now from under the King [aged 37], and I think it is a handsome way for him, but it was an ominous thing, methought, just as he was bidding me his last adieu, his nose fell a-bleeding, which ran in my mind a pretty while after. This afternoon Sir Alexander Frazier [aged 57], who was of council for Sir J. Minnes [aged 68], and had given him over for a dead man, said to me at White Hall:-"What", says he, "Sir J. Minnes is dead". I told him, "No! but that there is hopes of his life". Methought he looked very sillily after it, and went his way. Late home to supper, a little troubled at my not going to Epsum to-morrow, as I had resolved, especially having the Duke of York [aged 33] and Sir W. Coventry [aged 39] out of town, but it was my own fault and at last my judgment to stay, and so to supper and to bed. This day, with great satisfaction, I hear that my [his mother] Lady Jemimah is brought to bed, at Hinchingbroke [Map], of a boy.
