July 1670



July. The Brill.	Report of Dr. Rompf. Describing his journey to London, where he arrived 24 June, and his interviews with Lady and Lord Arlington and his speech to the latter to the same effect as the above instructions, concluding that as he is not skilled in these matters, being a physician and no statesman, he thought it convenient to translate his instructions word for word into English and put them into his lordship's hand, praying that he would consider of them and return an answer as soon as his manifold and weighty affairs would permit, he being commanded to return in haste and with all possible speed with Lord Arlington's reply. [6½ pages. Dutch except the speech to Lord Arlington. S.P. Dom., King William's Chest 1, No. 2.]
[July ?]	Account of Dr. Rompf's expenses on his journey. [Ibid. No. 2a.]
July 18.	Note of the dimensions of four square short trees and of the bigness of four masts according to the tender given in that day. [S.P. Supplementary 137, No. 232.]
July 20. Whitehall.	Commission to Sir Clement Harby to be consul at Zante in the place of John Harby, the late consul. [Foreign Entry Book 174b, p. 200.]
July 30. The London at Greenhithe.	Capt. John Tinker to the Navy Commissioners. I wait for a fair wind, but, if it should come fair, we are not in a capacity to make use of it for want of provisions. We have but for this day and to-morrow. I have expected a supply these five or six days. The purser is now come down and tells me he has had a warrant for a week's provisions fifteen days ago, but cannot get it from the Victualler's office. I beg you to haste it away or else on Monday we must fast. I have much ado to keep our men on board, and, if they have a lawful pretence, they will hardly be persuaded from deserting. I beg you to order fourteen days' victuals more to be immediately sent down. We have taken in the guns and 100 tons of ballast. The ship has 405 tons according to the lighters and draws 17 ft. 9 inches abaft and 16 ft. 11 inches afore. [S.P. Supplementary 137, No. 233.]
