To day the boys are still at work pulling fodder in the lower field. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall], Conney & Jemima are still sick. In the evening Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] went fishing and had very good success, having caught eight fine large trout weighing from 1½ to 5 lbs. I ground 2½ bushels of corn. weather changeable and hot with indications of rain. Ther: 92°.
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.
