Unpenned

(Friday) All the morning at Office. At noon with W. Pen to Duke of York, and attended Council. So to piper and Duck Lane, and there kissed bookseller’s wife, and bought Legend. So home, coach. Sailor. Mrs. Hannam dead.

Friday off
o pen

tend to the books
if I am dead

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 10 April 1668
