To day I remained at Father's where I am now boarding. I sent Bill and Bob to the shop and had the mules & 2 horses shod. Joe returned from the Saline with my little wagon. Nellie* is still quite sick, so much so as to require the aid of Dr. Murchison who visited her. weather changeable & hot with every indication of rain. [*This Nellie is a 2nd great-grandma to the Keeper of this blog.]
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 rode down to the bluff with Lelia, Roberta & Laura, we returned by the bottom route which was very pleasant & shady. Nellie was taken sick and remained so all day. In Crockett Mr. Craft was killed by Mr. Edwards but it produced no excitement whatsoever. weather changeable and very warm.
