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.

Saturday, April 2nd, 1864
To day the boys are still at work in the new ground. Mr. Keen came over and spent the day. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] and I worked in the garden. Hicks attended the mill and ground 25 bushels of corn. Weather variable and rather cool with a high boisterous wind blowing from the west which is not a gentle zephyr.
