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.

Monday, February 22nd, 1864

Be it remembered that the writer of this note book this day attained the 45th anniversary of his birth day. Weather clear and quite pleasant.
