To day the boys are still at work around the King house. I went over to Mr. Keen's to repair my rifle. Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] came up and spent the day. In the evening I rode down to the mill. Josephine [Josephine Martha Hall] is still sick. Hicks ground 9 bushels of corn. Weather clear & 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.
