"Up betimes and to my chamber to do business, where the greatest part of the morning. Then out to the 'Change to speake with Captain (Cocke), who tells me my silver plates are ready for me, and shall be sent me speedily; and proposes another proposition of serving us with a thousand tons of hempe, and tells me it shall bring me 6500, if the bargain go forward, which is a good word."
-The Diary of Samuel Pepys, 1666
