To day I am about well again, and drove up town in my buggy with Col. Jim Wrigley. we remained at the depot until the cars came in, in which I found William Leaverton, who has just come down from the mills, and who informed me that all my relatives up there [Houston County] are well. Mr. Leaverton is on his way to Houston. The Steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston. Weather clear and hot. Ther: 92°.
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.
