To day Bill is still at work pulling fodder. John done nothing in consequence of a bruise received on his finger in taking the stove out of the wagon. Mrs. Keen came over and drew the thread in the harness and sley of the little woman's [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] loom and wove about ¼ yd of cloth. Nellie [Mary Alexandrien Sharp nee Lemaire] rode down to the mill & back. Florence [Florence Mahala Hall] & Josephine [Josephine Martha Hall] are still sick with fevers. 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.

To day I am still engaged in packing up my furniture to move up the Country [to Houston County], but in consequence of the sickness of Bob I done but little. In the evening I went up town and there learned that the train of cars from Houston had run off the track doing serious injury to several of the passengers. weather cloudy and rainy making it very disagreeable and a strong North wind blowing rendering it quite cold.
