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.

Wednesday, October 2nd, 1861
To day Sam Sharp and his wife left in my buggy for the Mill [in Houston County] and to remain some time with his Mother [Mahala]. James Wrigley and Capt. Stovall's company left on the Steamer Ruthven for Galveston. I am still quite sick. But little business doing. weather changeable & very warm. [Sam Sharp and his wife, Nellie, are 2nd great-grandparents to the Keeper of this blog . . . Sam's Mother is Mahala, and my 3rd great-grandma]
