To day the boys are at work setting out potato slips. I worked on a pair of warping bars for the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp]. The little woman and children drove down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and spent the day. Roberta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] came up home with her. Hicks attended the mill and ground 2½ bushels of wheat and 3 bushels of Rye. Weather variable and hot. Ther: 96°.
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.
