To day the boys are still at work pulling fodder in the lower field. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] and children went down to Mothers [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and spent the day. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] went fishing and had very good success. I ground 10 bushels of corn. weather changeable and warm with indications of rain. Ther: 90°.
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.
