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.

I ground 13 bushels of corn. weather cloudy and warm with occasional showers of rain.
