To day I was compelled to go up town in order to try Nat Holley for an assault & battery committed upon the person of Wm. Thomas. after hearing the evidence I found him guilty & entered a fine of 10$ & costs. Capt. John W. Redman is still here. Hicks is at work building a wagon shed. Weather vaiable and hot. Ther : 90°.
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 worked a little at the Warehouse, and then drove up town, while there I paid Mr. Bristley every dollar I owed him, amounting to 26.50$ also all the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] owed him. Hicks & Albert are engaged getting wood. Mr. Holly repaired my wagon. Mrs. Beale* [Elizabeth Lemaire Beale nee Waring] paid me 10$ for Keeping her horse, since the 16th of December last to the present time she having sold said horse to Mr. Baldwin. Frank Stewart still very sick. My cough and cold no better. Weather cloudy cool and unpleasant.
*This Mrs. Beale is a 3rd great-grandma to the Keeper of this family history blog.
