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.

Thursday, October 24th, 1861
To day we done comparitively nothing in consequence of the rain. In fact it rained the entire day. Frank Stewart is still sick but improving. My house has come to a stand still again. The weather is quite cold.
