To day the boys went out hunting cows & calves, and succeeded in driving up three. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] & Mrs. Leaverton drove down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] in my buggy. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still quite sick. The water being so low in the pond that the mill done no grinding. Weather clear & hot. Ther: 90°.
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.
