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 boys are at work in the lower field. I attended the mill and ground 14½ bushels of corn. Billy Stewart and Billy Cundiff came out from Crockett and stopped with me for the night. I delivered to Mr. Cundiff's wagon (which was driven by Mr. Lane) all of his Cundiff's flour amounting to 913 lbs of superfine 60 lbs shorts and 12 bushels of bran. I also let Billy Stewart have 2 bushels of meal. Weather cloudy & cool with occasional showers of rain.

To day the boys are still at work plowing in the bottom field. Hicks is still at work on the hen house. I ground 2½ bushels of corn. At night four soldiers stopped with me. They belong to Lane's Regiment of Texas Volunteers. Nellie* [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] is still staying down at Mother's [Mahala* Sharp Hall nee Roberts]. Weather clear and warm for the season of the year.
*This Nellie is a 2nd great-grandma to the Keeper of this family history blog. Mahala is her mother-in-law.
