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.

Tuesday, June 30th, 1863
To day I commenced again to repair the mill levee with the same hands I had on yesterday. we worked hard all day and got the levee of sufficient strength to resist the high water let down from the upper mill. Mr. Charles Beasley came over and paid me for a pair of wool cards that I had procured for him while in Houston. My daughter Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] is still sick. weather changeable and hot with the Ther: standing at 84°. Thus closes my notes for the month of June.
