To day I kept the boys home to attend around the house. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & Billy Stewart left early in the morning. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still very ill and I think the crisis of the disease passed this morning and I now have some hope of his recovery. Mrs. J.H. Leaverton came over to see Jimmy & spent the day. Late in the evening Dr. Murchison came to see Jimmy. Mrs. Bird came & staid all night. Louisa & Wolf are still sick. Hicks ground 11 bushels of corn and was then taken with fever, also Conney. Weather clear & 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.
