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.

To day the Steamer Ruthven left for Galveston, with Lieut. Dark and his recruits on board, who had to say the least of it behaved while in the Warehouse in a very shameful manner. I was compelled to patrol nearly all night which did not set very well. weather clear & pleasant.

Dark arrived with 22 new recruits for the Liberty Guards. I had to quarter them in the ware house. weather clear & cold. at night a hard frost.
