To day Bill is still at work pulling fodder. I let John go over to assist Mr. Keen in stacking his fodder. I rode down to the mill & delivered to Mr. Parker's negro man 32 lbs. of flour, in part payment for 27½ lbs of tallow. In the evening I rode down to Mothers [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] to see Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall]. Weather changeable & hot. Ther: 92°.
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.
