To day the boys are at work at the mill. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] came up and assisted the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] in makin of a dress to visit Crockett in. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] came home in the evening. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] had another chill & fever. I finished paying father [Joshua James Hall] all the corn meal I owed him on account of the bacon I got from him in May last. 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.
