Fine weather. Have looseness of the bowels which has become quite chronic. At the bank, purchased my winter's coal. Called to see my man Proctor who is ill, took him some medicine. When these colored folk are ill, generally it is physical. Much of my illness and grief comes from undue anxiety and melancholy that produces indigestion. When my liver acts well, I seldom have the blues. Out of humor with Proctor's son who was to fill my coal bin. He showed up when I had the job nearly done.
