To day John is hauling wood. Bill is planting peas. Hicks assisted me in the mill. after pecking the rocks we ground 4½ bushels of wheat & 2 bushels of corn. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] rode down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & back. Toby Horace Oscar Hall] is still here. Weather cloudy & 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.
