To day the boys are still at work on the mill levee. John returned home from Corley's gin with another load of cotton 5 bales. Dr. Murchison called in to see Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] who is still sick. Father [Joshua James Hall] stopped to see us on his way home from Crockett. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode down to see Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and Roberta [Hall], the latter being very sick. I ground 12 bushels of corn. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] has recovered and he & I went fishing, we had very good success. weather cloudy misty and very gloomy, with the thermometer standing at 80°.
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.
