To day I remained at home reading. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] went fishing and had good luck. Pet [Florence Mahala Hall], Conney and Jemima were all taken with the fever again. I am satisfied that it is the influence of the mill pond that produces so much sickness in my family. weather clear and hot. Ther: 93°.
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.
