Saturday, December 31, 1864

this morning when I arose
I found the ground white
with snow it has bin
snowing all day but the
ground thaws it consid
-erbal I got a letter from
Biddie to day the ward is
fixed up nise for New years

(The diary ends without Vincent saying what he omitted a couple of days earlier. The end pages have a bit more information from Vincent. I'll add that information wrap up the diary in the next few days. Once the diary is complete I'll reverse the order so that the entries will be in chronological order.)

I will miss the daily diary readings. It's one of the first things I do every morning with my coffee. I am hooked. I wish we had all the letters that are mentioned so we could read those too. Thanks for doing all the hard work.

Thank you! I enjoyed reading the diary as well. There's still a few end pages to go!
