You ought to.
You receive no penalty for having duplicates in your log, so long as they
are scored correctly.
However, it could be that the station trying to work you the second time
didn't feel he got confirmation the first time and didn't log you. If you
log the duplicate, you may not be penalised for the first entry, since
you have a subsequent contact.

The best advise for duplicates is to work them and log them and move on

you may reconsider.
