To day Bill is still at work plowing the lower field. Hicks is still at work getting the wagons in good order for their trip to Liberty. John came home with his wagon in fine running order. I ground 9½ bushels of corn. In the evening the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp], children & myself drove down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] in the top buggy to see how she was. Frank Stewart came home and returned my buggy which he had borrowed to drive to Navarro. weather cloudy and cool with a hard shower of rain.
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.
