To day I am very busy writing in the office of the war tax Collector. I purchased from Nicholas D. Hamil of Chambers County a very likely negro girl about 19 years old, by the name of Maria for which I paid him 1200$. Boys in the swamp getting out pughes. Sam Sharp is still at work on his rolls. Bill at work on the fence. 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.
