To day I kept the boys at home to attend around the house and wait upon the sick. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & Mrs. Leaverton came up to see Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] who is still very sick but improving a little. Hicks, Louisa, Conney, Wolf and Clara are all confined with fevers. I let Dr. Murchison have 112 lbs. of flour & 2 bushels of wheat bran. Mr. Freeman & son stopped with me for the night. Weather clear & hot. Thermometer: 91°.
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.
