To day I am engaged with the boys in fitting up the King house in order to make it a little comfortable. We made one trip down to the mill & back with the little wagon. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] & Mrs. Leaverton came up and spent the day. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] has nearly recovered from his illness. Josephine [Josephine Martha Hall] is still sick. John & Bill were taken with fevers. Hicks ground 2 bushels of meal. Mother got 17 lbs of cotton. Weather variable & hot. Ther: 95°.
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.
