"Sun 31st - The last day of the year, the last day of our single life. We are to be married tomorrow. My Darling is to be mine, and I my Darling's. She is to be my wife, Emma Cyrus'. Lord, thou has greatly blessed our past years, and now thou crownest all by the promise of this crowning blessing. I thank Thee, Father.
I close this diary with the close of this year. Nothing in my past life would I have changed. My past is Thine, O Lord, my future is thine. I trust in Thee. Amen.
The dear ones dined with us at our house, and we took tea at their house. The last day closed pleasantly and cheerfully.
This afternoon Darling spent an hour with me in the dear old room. It was a sweet and [savored?] communion, and fitting for the closing day. I love and honor you Darling. God bless your future life with me."
