Excerpt from The Life, Journals, and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, Esq., F. R. S, Vol. 2 of 2: Including a Narrative of His Voyage to Tangier; Deciphered From the Short-Hand Mss. In the Bodleian Library We all are greatly obliged for your concern for our welfare, which, thanks be to God! Continues to us all. Not a friend of yours, that I know of, but is in the same state you left them in; our neighbour, sister Dolly, excepted, who is abroad again, out of her bed, after a month, that a pretty little girl detained her there. We have had such a set of sunshine and good weather, that we have been charmed to the Forest, and are there still; and nothing but the good news of your being ashore in Old England will bring us home.
