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 at work at the warehouse. Fawn [Florence Mahala Hall] & Roberta [Downes Halyard nee Hall] are improving a little. Jimmy [James Wrigley Hall] and Josephine [Martha Hall] were taken down with the measles, making five cases in all at my house. Messrs. Marbert and Gregg are still at work on the gallery. Hicks worked out the peach orchard. Weather clear and pleasant.
