To day the boys are at work hauling wood. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & Mrs. Bird left for their respective homes. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still improving a little although still quite sick. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] missed her fever. Wolf is still sick. Mrs. Leaverton, Laura [Leaverton] & Isabella [Downes] called in to see Jimmy. Hicks ground 7 bushels of corn. Weather variable and hot. 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.
