Samuel Pepys' Diary. 23rd February 1663. This morning came my Lord Windsor (age 36) to kiss the Duke's (age 29) hand, being returned from Jamaica. He tells the Duke, that from such a degree of latitude going thither he begun to be sick, and was never well till his coming so far back again, and then presently begun to be well. He told the Duke of their taking the fort of St. Jago, upon Cuba, by his men; but, upon the whole, I believe that he did matters like a young lord, and was weary of being upon service out of his own country, where he might have pleasure. For methought it was a shame to see him this very afternoon, being the first day of his coming to town, to be at a playhouse.

Late tonight I sent to invite my uncle Wight and aunt with Mrs. Turner (age 40) to-morrow.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 13th February 1663. Took my wife home, and I to my office.

Thence carried them and Mr. Gibson, who met me at my Lord Brouncker's (age 49) with a fair copy of my petition, which I thought to shew the Duke of York (age 35) this night, but could not, and therefore carried them to the Park, where they had never been, and so home to supper and to bed. Great the news now of the French taking St. Domingo, in Spaniola, from the Spaniards, which troubles us, that they should have it, and have the honour of taking it, when we could not.
