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 
-- particularly in a contest with a very short exchange. In Sweepstakes, 
you may reconsider.
