To day I let the boys go across the Trinity River in search of some of my oxen that has been gone for some time. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] returned home from her visit to Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Sharp]. Weather changeable & 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.
