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.

Thursday, April 4th, 1861
To day I am up after spending a very sick night and went to work on the papers & accounts of the steamers belonging to the Trinity River navigation Company. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] became very much alarmed for fear I was going to have a severe and protracted spell of sickness, but as I am up this morning she appears to be very much relieved. weather cloudy and rather warm for the season of the year with every prospect for a hard rain.
