Monday. Ate a very light breakfast & only flour gruel for dinner & supper. My diarrhea continues, & have felt sick at the stomach this afternoon. Took a couple of opium pills, & just before supper a small blue pill, the first I ever took I think. Commenced a letter to Nellie but felt hardly well to finish it. Took another blue pill about dark, & went to bed & slept soundly.
