To day the boys are at work in the new ground. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still very sick. Father [Joshua James Hall], Berta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall], Laura Leaverton & Isabella Downes came out from Crockett and stopped for dinner. also six soldiers stopped for dinner. In the evening Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] and Mrs. Leaverton came out from Crockett and remained all night. Hicks ground 4 bushels of corn. Weather clear & warm. Ther: 88°. Thus closes my jottings of events that are alone interesting to me for June.
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.
