To day the steamer Ruthven went down the river on a pleasure excursion and returned in the evening. There were a great many ladies on board. had quite a pleasant party and time passed swiftly and pleasantly. I am engaged at the warehouse. I received a very interesting letter from Sam Sharp*, who has been confined up the Country for some months. The boys are at work on my fence. weather clear & pleasant. [*Sam Sharp is the 2nd great-grandpa of the Keeper of this blog.]
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.
