Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 69: November 1668
Translated by Mynors Bright
Volume 69 of Samuel Pepys's diary, written in November 1668, offers a detailed account of his personal and professional life during the Restoration period in England. As a Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Admiralty, Pepys provides insight into significant historical events, including the tensions of his marriage and his relationship with a maid named Deb. This volume captures the complexities of 17th-century social dynamics and Pepys's reflections on love, loyalty, and his responsibilities at the Navy Board. Edited and abridged by Robert Latham, this edition continues to be a vital source for understanding the era's socio-political landscape.
