To day we left our camp at Hallmark's & drove 16 miles to the Mill, where I left the little wagon and mules with the servants. The roads were very heavy. In the evening I rode hawk down to Father's where I found the little woman and my pet daughter Fawn enjoying fine health, and who were much pleased to see me. I also found Father's family well. weather changeable & hot with drizzling showers of rain occasionally.
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.
