I have been to day to see George Dyes - perhaps for
the last time. I loth to talk about death with dying
men - & to talk of death with good men when dying, is
a great privilege. It takes away the sting. It annihilates
the victory of the grave.
He was seated his pen in his arm chair - his wife
near him (shedding bitter tears) and admonishing with
much kindness & gentleness to his little wants. I am glad
in you (he said) before I go - for I am going -I feel it - &
it permis and now to set my house in order. I have kind
medical friends,- who do what they can - Mr Cullen Sells
Wakefield - but they can do nothing. I am not terrified, or
distressed - & if this be dying I am ready - I do not know
how I would fear severe pain - but I hope I shall struggle through
it into death. Mine has been a remarkable life - & all things
in it seem to have ended well - & at its close (-& here
he looked towards his wife - & burst into tears - & his wife
began to weep anon) - I have had the best blessing of all -
I have had many, many doubts - I admire Christianity
as a moral code - but if I believe it has been greatly
patented - If I could have thought that God had mated men
