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.

Tuesday, January 13th, 1863
To day Capt Peacock and Solomon Levy left on their buggy for Magnolia. The boys are still engaged in getting out and hauling garden posts. I ground 23½ bushels of corn. I received from Jesse Tubbs two loads of lint cotton, making the amount received from him 5244 lbs and I paid his son young Jesse the sum of $700 on a/c of said cotton. at night there was a perfect storm the rain fell in torrents making the Elk Hart creek nearly over flow its banks. it was indeed a very disagreeable & unpleasant night.
