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 am busily engaged in the Warehouse weighing Cotton and delivering freight. I dined out with Charley Lund and eat something that did not agree with me in consequence of which I had a severe attack of Cholera Morbus at night and spent a very disagreeable night of it being up and down continually until near daylight when I became some easier and had a pleasant nap. The boys are still hauling corn. weather clear and cool.
