To day I am confined to the house by sickness. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] rode my horse Rat up and while on her way was thrown from his back but without any serious hurt. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] drove Mother home in the buggy carrying Fawn down with her. Nellie & Fawn returned home at night. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] ground 5½ bushels of corn. weather clear and hot but no comparison as to yesterday. Ther: standing at 88°.
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.
