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.

The forenoon of day I spent at the warehouse. The evening I spent at home glazing the sash door. The little woman [Margaret Hall Stewart nee Sharp] & Roberta [Downes Halyard nee Hall] walked up town. Capt. John W. Redmond is still at work painting the house. I am quite sick. Weather clear and pleasant.
