To day we left Grand Cane and drove 23 miles, and arrived in Liberty, where we found all well. Capt. Wrigley with his company the "Liberty Guards" started out on a camp drill. We found the Steamer "Alice" sunk in the river with slight prospects of her ever being raised. weather cloudy with occasional showers of rain. Expenses $3.
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.
