To day the steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston with 44 bales of Cotton on board and reported seven sail of vessels off the Island preparing to bombard the City. I remained in my room writing. weather changeable with occasional showers of rain. Ther: 92°.
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.
