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 boys are still at work hauling logs & preparing to put up the cotton house. Sam [Samuel Houston Sharp] rode over to Mr. Keen's after my saddle and also to the Post office. Father [Joshua James Hall] came up to see us but did not remain long. My son James [James Wrigley Hall] missed his chill and fever. In consequence of the low water the mill done no grinding. weather clear and hot.

To day I visited Dailey's store and also went to the Post office to get my mail matter, and returned in the evening. I found Father [Joshua James Hall], Mother [Mahala* Sharp Hall nee Roberts] and the little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] had gone to visit Mrs. Bird. They returned in the evening and Father & Mother went home at night. weather cloudy with drizzling rain but rather too cold to rain hard.
*This Mahala is a 3rd great-grandma to the Keeper of this family history blog.
