Monday, July 9th, 1860. To day I arrived at Berwick bay at 9 A.M. and proceeded immediately to N. Orleans by the Opolousas cars and arrived in New Orleans at 1½ o'clock P.M. I stoped at the City Hotel. While in N.O. I met Harry Broth??? and in company with him & a Mr. Burke we took dinner at the N.? restaurant. I left N.O. by the Mississippi Central cars at 8 P.M. I purchased in N.O. 1 pair of sleeve buttons at 12$ and 1 collar button at $2.50. expenses of day $6.25. weather warm & clear, and some considerable yellow fever prevailing in N.O.
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.
