Today I left Sumpter in company with Daniel Dailey and Guy Stokes and came as far as Dailey's residence where I was overtaken by Sam Sharp and remained all night. The remains of M. H. Bracken were interred in their last resting place. at home still at work in the cotton. weather clear & warm.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
