To day I am very busily engaged in fixing for my trip up to the mill. I gave the K.G.C.s a pretty fair Company drill. weather warm cloudy and rainy.
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.
