To day the Liberty Guards had a dress parade & drill on the public square. The sick at home are improving. But little business doing. weather changeable and 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 the Liberty Guards had a dress parade and went out on the cars to Beaumont. I did not drill the K.G.C.'s in consequence of the absence of so many of the members with the Guards. weather clear & warm.
