To day Bill finished thrashing out the wheat. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] is still down at Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts]. I rode down to the mill. Wolf missed his chill & fever. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] finished the piece of cloth in the loom (c.c.) [???] wove it, and took it out of the loom, there was just 20½ yds in all. Weather variable & warm. Ther: 88°.
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.
