To day the boys are still at work in the mill field. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] & I rode down to the mill. Berta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] & Toby [Horace Oscar Hall] came up & spent the day. Weather changeable & warm. Ther: 78°.
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.
