To day Bill is still at work thrashing out wheat. Father [Joshua James Hall] & Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] left for Magnolia. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode down to Mother's and remained there to take care of the children during their absence. I rode down to the Tanner house to see if I could procure any lumber. The children still have the chills & fevers. Weather variable and warm. Ther: 84°.
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.
