To day Capt. Peacock & I left Liberty on the Steamer Mary Hill for Galveston. we had a pleasant run down the river & across the bay, and arrived at Galveston at 1. o'clock at night. at home the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] let Mr. Monroe have 2 bales of cotton. one weighed 486 lbs & the other 513 pounds. Hicks ground 42 bushels of corn. Weather clear & pleasant.
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.
