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, June 1st, 1866
To day I am at work at the warehouse. Hicks & Steve are still hauling salt & finished removing the same. The steamer Indian No. 2 arrived from Galveston bound up the [Trinity] river, after taking on board 100 sacks salt, she proceeded on her voyage. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] & I are still sorely afflicted with the itch. As this is the first day of summer I begin to note the state of the thermometer as I have heretofore kept it. Ed. Jones arrived from Galveston on the steamer Indian No. 2. Weather variable and hot: Ther: 86°.
