To day I went to town to mail the interrogatories written out on yesterday for L.E. Downes. I paid the Dist. Clerk $3.50 his fee for taking said deposition. but little doing in the way of business. Sick at home all recovered. The Steamer Ruthven arrived from Galveston. weather cloudy with showers of rain. 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 went with John Harwell to the polls, and while there had to act as one of the clerks to the election. The vote at precinct No. 7 stood for Secession 31, against Secession 5. I voted for it. weather cloudy & warm, until in the evening when the wind hauled around to the North & it became very cold with a heavy frost at night.
