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.

Saturday, February 17th, 1866
To day I spent the forenoon at the Warehouse and the evening at home. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] is now doing her own cooking. I am still suffering with the cough and cold which does not improve any. Capt. John Redmond still here. Frank Stewart is still confined to his room. Burta [Roberta Downes Halyard nee Hall] is still sick. Weather cloudy & cold with occasional showers of rain.
