I went to Town to transact Business and pay visits. I obtained a promise that the Lords of the Treasury would exempt my Baggage, Presents &c. &c. ( -- with a few exceptions -- ) from paying Duty; and that Orders to that effect would be sent to the commissioners of the Customs & Excise in the course of tomorrow. -- I took an early Dinner in Town; and returned to the London Docks in the Evening.
