To day the steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston with a few passengers but no freight. I purchased 280 Pughes from Jim Rodger's negro man Charley. I took dinner with Grand Ma, and in the evening am engaged in writing. weather clear & very hot. Ther. 98°.
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.
