To day the boys are still at work chopping out the bottom field. John is at work running tar. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] rode down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] to fix her loom. I ground 3 bushels of corn and went fishing in the evening with poor success. weather changeable and hot. a light shower of rain fell doing more injury than good to the crops. Ther: 89°.
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.
