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.

To day I went up town to act as Commissioner on the partition and distribution of the estate of Williams decd. amongst the heirs thereof. In the evening be it remembered! That I moved the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp], Fawn, bag & baggage into the new house in order that I could have a home of my own although it is yet in a half finished condition, but we can get along in it until I can have it completed. weather clear & warm with a shower of rain at night.
