I received your letter, and shall give you the best account I can of our late sad fire, tho' it is scarcely possible for any man fully to describe it. It began at a Bakers house in Puddinglane, near Thames Street, on Sunday morning, about two or three of the clock; and burnt doune several houses, but could not be quencht, in regard it was a narrow place where ye engines could not play, & ye Lord Maior did not thinke fit to pull doune any houses to prevent ye further spreading of ye fire.
