To day I rode my horse Hawk in company with Father [Joshua James Hall] down to camp Burnett in order to purchase some negroes, but when we arrived they had just been sold. we then returned home having ridden 30 miles for no purpose. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] ground 9½ bushels of corn. weather clear & hot. Ther: 91°.
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.
