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, July 31st, 1865
To day I drove out to Mrs. Mass??? after the old lady to come in and do some sewing but she was sick, consequently I had my "trip" for nothing. I hired a negro woman by the name of Ophelia for one month for which I am to pay her 3$ in greenbacks, thus relieving the little woman from further labor in the kitchen. Fannie is now up & nearly well. Little Josephine is recovering. Col. Jim Wrigley came over on the cars, sick & is confined ??? Weather changeable and hot. Ther: 88°. Thus closes my jottings for the month of July.
