To day I am still engaged in making out the tax rolls for Sam. The steamer Ruthven arrived from and departed for Galveston. Sam with the boys are engaged in the ware house handling freight all the forenoon. Charley Lund left on the train of cars for Sour Lake. Bill finished making one of the large gates in my fence. weather changeable & hot, with a shower of rain in the evening. Ther: 91°.
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.
