This morning there was quite a large fire in Galveston, which consumed Briggs & Yard's store with several other houses. I left Galveston on the Steamer Ruthven at 9 o'clk. A.M. for Liberty at which place I arrived at 10 P.M. and found the little woman well. weather clear & pleasant.
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.
