To day Bill is still at work thrashing out wheat. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] is still down at Mother's [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts]. All the children except Wolf missed their chills & fevers. I remained at home all day. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] is busily engaged weaving a piece of cloth. Weather variable and warm. Ther: 85°.
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.
