To day the boys are at work cradling wheat. Dr. Murchison again came to see Josephine [Josephine Martha Hall] who is still very sick but I think she has a change for the better. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] is still here. I made a spool frame for the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp]. Hicks ground 3 bushels of wheat. Weather changeable & very hot with a light shower of rain at night.
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.
