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.

Tuesday, April 24th, 1866
To day I am at work at the warehouse. The steamer Royal Arch discharging her cargo. The [Trinity] river is still falling. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] is still improving. Roberta [Downes Halyard nee Hall] has the measles broken out on her plentifully. Ed. Jones arrived from the up Country [Houston County]. Messrs. Marbert & Gregg commenced working on the gallery to my residence. Weather clear and warm.
