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 went to see a horse race between Mr. Hart and Mr. Jerome De Blanc in which the latter won easily. but little doing. weather cloudy with showers of rain.

There was a Jerome De Blanc among a caravan of Creoles who arrived in Liberty County in December 1845.
