To day I remained at home but have somewhat recovered from my indisposition. Father [Joshua James Hall], Roberta [Hall] & Toby [Horace Oscar Hall] came up and spent the day with the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp]. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] is under the weather or rather sick from her recent trip to Liberty & back. Bill is still at work in the lower field. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] ground 4 bushels of corn. weather clear and hot with the Ther: standing at 86°.
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.
