British civil servant (1633–1703) who was promoted to Secretary to the Admiralty in 1673. Pepys is best remembered as the author of a nine-year, multi-volume diary, one of the essential documents of 17th century British history and literature. Manuscript DS, signed “S. Pepys,” one page, 7.5 x 12, June 27, 1667. Authorization for payment reads, in part: “There is owed unto Thomas Pitt the sum of five hundred and four pounds seven shillings four pence for price of eleven tunns nine hundred one quarter and one pound weight of non cordage by him delivered into his Mats Stores at Portsmouth.” Signed at the conclusion by Pepys, Neill Batten, and W. Penn. In good condition, with fully separated lower blank section, scattered toning and foxing, pencil notation under signature, a few edge chips, and small separations to other horizontal folds.
