To day the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] missed her chill and fever, so did Jemima. Fannie and Florence again missed their fevers and are well for this spell. I owe Mr. Jackson for 60 lbs of beef at 4¢ which includes the 20 lbs I got this day. The Steamer Col Stell arrived from Galveston. Weather clear & hot. Ther: 93°.
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.
