To day the boys finished working in the bottom field. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire], Father [Joshua James Hall] and Roberta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] all drove to Crockett to attend an instrumental & vocal concert. Nellie drove my horse Rob & buggy. I sent Billy Stewart by Mr. Wingfield's wagon 2 bushels of meal, 1 bushel of corn and 50 lbs. of flour. Hicks attended the mill and ground 4 bushels of corn. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still quite sick. Weather clear & 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.
