To day I am busily engaged in writing answers to certain interrogatories propounded to me in the Dist. Court for Leon County. In the evening I was taken with severe fever which lasted all night. weather changeable, with occasional showers of rain and rather cool.
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.
