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, November 6th, 1861
To day I attended the polls and voted for Jeff Davis for the Presidency of the Confederate States. Business tolerable brisk. The boys still at work digging potatoes. The Str. Ruthven arrived bringing no freight & also departed. weather changeable & warm.
