Jerry a Visit - but all Entertainment
of a Great Fire wch broke out at Justice Quarrell's Warehouses in Whitechappel
within Three Houses of Jonathan Nellis's the Three Tonns Tavern at White
Chappel Barrs, whither you may imagin I went to ye Assistance of my Tenant
for whom I was more concerned than for myself as it was insured — it broke
out about five o' Clock, 2 or 3 lives were lost by the Explosion of a Barrell
of Gunpowder, & had it happen'd in ye Night in all probability the Whole
Butcher Row wod by this time been in Ashes - as the Houses fronting the Street
were mostly timber - one of 'em I saw from Nellis's Three times on fire
but happily extinguish'd & saved by ye brisk Play of the Engines —
and by ten o' Clock ye Fire was got under without consuming and
I cod observe any Dwelling House only a Stack of Warehouses & some
Stables &
other outhouses -
