To day the boys are still at work in the lower field. Billy Stewart & I went fishing but with rather poor success. Late in the evening Stewart left for Crockett. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode up from Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and then went to Mrs. Bird's where she spent the night. Hicks worked in the garden. Weather clear and warm. Ther: 84°.
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.
