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.

Monday, October 31st, 1864
To day the boys are at work saving what few potatoes we made. Dr. Murchison came to see the sick that is Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] and the little Major [James Hall Sharp] - Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] & Jim [James Wrigley Hall] are still sick. Mr. Keen came over and remained for dinner and then rode down to Mothers [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts]. Aunt Leaverton came over to see the children. I went over to see Wash Leaverton who is quite sick. Thus I close my notes for the month of October. Weather cloudy and warm.
