To day I am at work at the warehouse. Col. Wrigley commenced building a shed to the warehouse. The Steamer Royal Arch left for Galveston, with Capt. John W. Redmond on board, who leaves to visit New Orleans. Capt. Dawson left on the [rail]cars for Houston. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] & I are still suffering with the itch. Weather cloudy and cold, with sprinkling 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.
