Edwards returned on the train from Houston which came across the bridge being the first train that has crossed since the bridge has been repaired. The Steamer Orizaba in her downward trip run upon a snag and sand, about one mile below the residence of Dick Cole. Nothing yet from home. Weather clear and hot. Ther: 91°
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.
