To day the boys finished cradling the wheat, and then set out potato slips. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] left for home. Josephine [Josephine Martha Hall] is improving. I commenced making myself a lounge to sleep on throughout the summer if permitted to live. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode down to Mother's. Hicks ground 3 bushels of wheat. Weather variable & hot.
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.
