To day Bill commenced to plow the corn in the lower field. Hicks is at work getting the wagons ready for the trip to Liberty. John is still over at the shop. I rode my horse (Rob) over to the shop twice in order to get him shod, and it was with difficulty I succeeded at last. I ground 12½ bushels of corn. weather changeable & warm, with indications of rain.
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.
