To day Jimmy & Fanny are both still sick. Conney has recovered having missed her fever is now up and well. Col. Jim Wrigley left on the cars for Houston. I finished tieing up all the fodder. I walked up to the shop after my buggy but failed to get it not being repaired. Weather variable & hot with a light shower of rain. 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.
