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.
To day I am still in Galveston with but little prospect of obtaining a passage to New Orleans. There was quite a large turn out of the Military in Galveston. The steamship Rusk weighed anchor and went over the bar after a prize ship but returned with the pilot boat Royal Yacht. weather clear & rather warm.
