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.

Wednesday, February 11th, 1863
To day the boys finished the house fence and commenced the fence around the little field in front of the houses. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] planted english peas, eschalots, lettuce, horse raddish and other vegetables. I ground 15 bushels of corn. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] missed her fever entirely and may now be said to be well. weather cloudy with drizzling rain & rather cool.
