To day the boys are at work pulling fodder in the bottom field. The District Court for this (Houston) County commenced its session. Nellie's [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] thumb is getting better. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] & Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] missed their fever and are now improving. Bill was attacked with fever and had to stop working. I ground two bushels of corn. weather changeable and warm. Ther: 90° with showers of rain.
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.
