To day the boys are at work in the lower field plowing the corn. Father [Joshua James Hall], Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts], Mrs. Stubblefield and Albert May came up and spent the day. I let Mother have one pair of cotton cards for 75$. Hicks ground 8 bushels of corn. Weather clear & pleasant.
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.
