To day the boys are still at work in the little field. I drove my horse (Rob) and buggy to Crockett and stopped with Billy Stewart. Maggie rode down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and took Roberta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] home with her. she bought Toby [Horace Oscar Hall] up home with her. Hicks attended the mill and ground 22 bushels of corn. Weather clear and warm. Ther: 86°.
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.
