To day I am still at work at the warehouse. Frank Stewart still improving. I got another sack of Buck wheat from Col. W. which makes 50 lbs I owe him. I am still afflicted with sores or rather with the itch. Ed. Jones left again for the up Country [Houston County] not having finished his business on the last trip. Hicks engaged hauling wood. Weather cloudy and warm with light drizzling showers of rain.
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.
