To day Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & Mrs. Leaverton rode down home in my buggy. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire], Laura [Leaverton] & Isabella [Downes] came up and spent the day. Dr. Murchison came to see Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] who is still very sick and requires our closest attention both day & night. Laura & Isabella left for Mother's and the Doctor for home. Nellie remained to assist in waiting upon Jimmy. Weather variable & warm, with a light shower of rain. 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.
