To day I settled with Perry for his last month's work as Miller. In the evening went fishing. The hands still in the cotton. weather changable & warm.
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.

To day I started to Huntsville and arrived at Clarks for dinner & in the evening went to Wyser's. at home still at work in the cotton. weather changable & warm.
Tuscaloosa Springs (also Wyser's Bluff). Situated on the Trinity, ten miles north of Huntsville and thirty miles south of Crockett. On his 1849 map De Cordova noted its location at the mouth of Mill Creek. In 1858 a stage stop with accommodations operated at these red, black, and white sulphur springs. The 1860 Census reported G.A. Wyser as hotelkeeper. In 1866 the San Antonio Daily Herald noted it as a "very strong sulphur spring." The springs evidently operated until 1870, as Johnson noted it on his map. The 1886 USGS Bulletin 32 said that locals used this sulphureted spring. . . . from Taking the waters in Texas: springs, spas, and fountains of youth by Janet Valenza. Google Books.
