Tuesday, June 24, 1760. This morning I was, as I have been for some time, afflicted with a pain at my stomach. I engaged in my work and was helped in the forenoon to redeem my time in some degree although I found it very difficult on account of bodily indisposition. My thoughts were much occupied with the subject of death. There is only one thing that seems to distress my mind in the prospect of it which is my present situation as to worldly circumstances. In the afternoon, I was much the same though rather worse towards evening so that I could not go to the meeting and found it difficult to perform family and private duties. On retiring to rest, I took some medicine and slept pretty well.
