To day the boys are at work in the lower field. Capt. Cameron left for his quarters at Magnolia. I worked on the loom for the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp]. Hicks attended the mill and ground 11 bushels of corn. Weather changeable and rather cool for the time of year.
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.
