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 I am busily employed in writing deeds. I received a deed from Capt. Wrigley for the four lots upon which I am now erecting my new building. Mr. Hollsclaw returned from his visit home to work on my new house, which is progressing very slowly. Business dull. weather cloudy and cold.
