To day John is at work hauling wood. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still quite sick, but I think recovering a little. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] is also still sick. Hicks, Louisa, Conney and Clara all missed their fevers. Wolf however is not so fortunate. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and Mrs. Bird came and staid all night to assist the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] in waiting upon the sick. Father [Joshua James Hall], Mrs. Leaverton, Laura [Leaverton] & Isabella [Downes] called in to see Jimmy. Hicks ground 7 bushels of corn. Weather changeable & warm with a light shower of rain. Ther: 90°.
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.
