This morning I was busy at home to take in my part of our freight of Coles, which Sir G. Carteret, Sir R. Slingsby, and myself sent for, which is 10 chaldron, 8 of which I took in, and with the other to repay Sir W. Pen what I borrowed of him a little while ago.

So that from this day I should see how long 10 chaldron of coals will serve my house, if it please the Lord to let me live to see them burned.
