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.

Wednesday, July 6th, 1864
To day I kept the boys at home to attend around the house and wait upon the sick. Dr. Murchison stopped on his way to Crockett to see Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] who is still very sick, but I think improving. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] was taken with fever. Hicks, Louisa, Wolf and Conney are still sick. Billy Stewart came to see me & remained until late in the evening when he left for Crockett. I rode down to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] after my buggy and brought little Major [James Hall Sharp] up home with me, he has been staying there for some weeks. Weather clear & hot. Ther: 91°.
