To day my little wife, Fawn & Nellie in the buggy, Sam on Hawk and the little wagon & mules with the negroes & baggage left Liberty for the Mill, there to spend the summer, leaving me all alone in my glory to get along the best I may. I am engaged in making out a duplicate war tax roll for Hardin County. Bill at work on the fence. weather changeable & hot. Ther: 95°. In the evening there was a perfect hurricane blowing. no damage done by it except a few trees torn up.
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.
