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.

To day the Steamer Lone Star arrived from Galveston with 3 companies of Federal soldiers on board. The infernal rascals as soon as they landed commenced plundering through the premises of all the citizens who lived in their route ? &c. They were very ? and rude. I drove up town in company with ? in hopes of seeing the Federals leave. one company left on ? others came in their place. The Lone Star left in the evening for Galveston and thank God one of the companies named above left on her. Fannie & ? were again taken sick with fever. Weather variable and hot with a light shower of rain. Ther: 84°.
