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.

The Polk County Guards left on the Steamer Ruthven for Galveston, in route for the seat of war in Virginia. but little business doing. weather cloudy with occasional showers of rain and rather cold.

To day the Steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston. The Polk County Guards were compelled to camp immediately in the ware house in consequence of a very hard rain. in fact it continued to rain throughout the entire day making it exceedingly muddy & disagreeable out of doors. The weather was very cold for the season.

To day the Liberty Guards turned out to receive the Polk County Guards under Capt. D. D. Moore, who are now on their way to the seat of war in Virginia. The Liberty Guards escorted them down to the ware house where they quartered. but little business doing. I attended the store sales during the parade of the Guards. weather cloudy & warm.
