To day we left Grand Cane and over took & passed the wagons 8 miles below Livingston. I was exceedingly sick nearly all day and was compelled to lay by the road side for some hours. We however succeeded in driving to Livingston a distance of 33 miles and put up at Bishop's Hotel. My horse Rob is very much fatigued and in fact almost fagged out. expenses $14. weather clear & very hot. Ther: 96°.
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.
