To day the boys are at work hauling and stacking fodder. they hauled and stacked four stacks. Father [Joshua James Hall] with the road hands worked the road leading from Hall's bluff to the mills. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] is very much troubled with a rising on her thumb. I ground 7 bushels of corn and loaned Mr. Bird one bushel of meal. weather changeable & hot. Ther: 91°.
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.
