To day I walked up to Charley Lund's and spent the forenoon with him. He sent the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] a nice present of some peaches. He also came down home with me and spent the evening. I am still afflicted with the itch, but the boil is getting better, tho not near so painful. Weather clear & pleasant, with a gentle wind blowing all day. Ther: 78°.
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.
