To day the boys are at work picking peas. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] rode my horse Gladiator up to Mr. Dailey's and back. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp], Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] and I went fishing with pretty fair success. Capt. Stufflefield came up and also went fishing. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] is still sick but I think slightly improving. I ground 3 bushels of corn. weather clear & warm. Ther: 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.
