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.

Saturday, May 31st, 1862
To day I am very busy in the conscript office, making soldiers. The steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston with a large cargo of freight & with a great many passengers. The boys are busy storing freight. weather changeable and showery with a hard rain at night. Thus I close the jottings for the month of May.
