To day I am busily engaged in enrolling conscripts for the Confederate army. The Steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston with a large freight and full list of passengers. The boys are engaged in the ware house under the directions of Sam, storing freight. The little woman is still confined to her bed, but somewhat improving. weather clear & pleasant.
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.
