To day all the folks at home are still sick, with the addition of Lelia, Louisa & Bob. Mrs. Lund gave us a call at the store and spent some time in the office which to us made the time pass very agreeably. But little business. weather clear & hot with the Ther. at 89°
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.
