To day I am very busy writing in the war tax Collectors office. Charley Lund and his wife left on the cars for Sour Lake, there to rusticate for some time. Sam Sharp still at work on his rolls. E.H. Cushing arrived from Houston on the cars and came to see me. Bill still at work on the house yard gates. weather changeable & hot. Ther: 95°.
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.
