To day the boys finished pulling fodder in the lower field and commenced pulling in the bottom field. I sent John out to hunt up his oxen. Billy and Robert Stewart came out and stopped with me for the night. I ground 5 bushels of corn, and then picked some peas in the garden. weather changeable and hot. in the evening it clouded up and then the rain poured down in perfect torrents. Ther: 94°.
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.
