To day the Steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston with Capt McKeen's company in route for Virginia they making a fine appearance and being determined to do the Yankees all the damage possible. Mr. Bolling went out in the cars with said Company. Frank Stewart arrived from the Mill, with the little wagon & mules bringing several articles and he looking very well from the trip. But little doing in the way of business. weather clear & hot. Ther: at 91°.
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.
