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.

Friday, June 1st, 1860
In the morning I went to the lower place and put the hands to working out the cotton. In the evening I went fishing with Col. Hay & Billy Stewart. I spent a very disagreeable night in consequence of a rising on my thumb which gave great pain all night. Sam Sharp still sick. Weather changable & warm.
