To day I am busy writing in the war tax Collectors office and finished all the business to be done in it. Sam Sharp is still busy at work on his rolls. The Boys are still busy getting out pughes in the swamp. at night I visited Charley Lund and heard some very good music and had a social whisk party. weather changeable & hot. Ther: 95°.
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 home with Dr. Stanwood and partook of a fine oyster dinner after which we had some excellent Piano music performed by Miss Stanwood. Hands are now working briskly on my new house. The Steamer Ruthven left for Galveston with the residue of Capt. Stovall's company. weather clear and pleasant.
