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.

The Polk County Guards were compelled to camp immediately in the ware house in consequence of a very hard rain. in fact it continued to rain throughout the entire day making it exceedingly muddy & disagreeable out of doors. The weather was very cold for the season.
