To day James Wrigley arrived home from Houston in the train of cars. Sam Sharp was taken very sick and remained home. E.W. Smith staid with me all day & night. but little business doing. weather changeable & hot. Ther: 95° with an exceedingly hard rain at night.
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.
