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.

Saturday, November 8th, 1862
To day I am busily engaged in the conscript office reconscripting those heretofore discharged by reason of disability. Sam H. Sharp* with the little wagon & mules arrived from the mill [in Houston County] having left there on Wednesday last, taking just 4 days to come down. He left my little woman and babies well. The boys still at work housing the potatoes. weather clear and cool, with a hard frost at night. [*Sam is a 2nd great-grandpa to the Keeper of this family history blog . . . and "the little woman" is his sister . . . as well as the wife of the writer of this Journal . . . ]
