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.

Friday, January 26th, 1866
To day Hicks & Albert are at work setting out shade trees in the house yard. I drove up town after some ax handles. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] is still sick. Frank [Stewart] & Burt [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] do not seem to improve any. Col. Wrigley with the hands finished the Cotton shed. Weather clear & pleasant but cold at night with a hard frost.
