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, May 19th, 1863
To day the boys are at work getting out boards for the wagons & preparing them for a trip to Liberty. John is still over at the black smith shop. I rode over to Mr. Keen's and purchased from him a yoke of oxen for which I paid $150. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] ground 8 bushels of corn. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode my horse Gladiator down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and back. Sam & Frank Stewart went out hunting with a view of remaining out all night. weather clear & warm.
