To day Billy Stewart left for Crockett. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp], babies and I drove down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] in the buggy and spent the day with her. Late in the evening I sent Billy Stewart's grapes down to Father's [Joshua James Hall] for him to send to Crockett. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] was taken sick with fever. Weather variable & hot. Ther: 93°.
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.
