To day I am at work at the warehouse. Hicks & Steve are engaged hauling shingles from the [rail]cars. The Str. Royal Arch arrived from Galveston and by her I received a barrel of ice to cool the parched tongue. Ed. Jones took dinner with me. My Cough & itch is but little if any better. Weather variable and hot : Ther : 88°.
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.
