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.

To day the boys are at work pulling and hauling corn. they only made one load. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] & I finished the floor, lining and door to one of the corn cribs. In consequence of the low water in the pond the mill done no grinding. Mr.John Kyle delivered for me at McElroy's gin 5455 lbs of seed cotton and for which I paid him $337.15 in full consideration for the same. weather clear & hot.
