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.

Mother came up & Billy Stewart & I came home in the cart. he was taken very sick. at night John Harwell returned home having met with no success. In the evening Frank Stewart & I succeeded in killing 2 wild geese. weather clear & rather warm.

FYI . . . Mother is my 3rd great-grandma, Mahala Lee Sharp Hall nee Roberts (1816-1885) . . . and she is the step-mother as well as the mother-in-law of J.M. Hall . . . also . . . this Frank Stewart will marry J.M. Hall's widow (Mahala's daughter) following Hall's death in 1866 . . .
