December 31, 1755

1755 December 31 (Wednesday).  Captain Wood, return’d from Albany, was here with his Brother Jonathan in their Journey home; feeble and weak yet; and complains of Dizziness — but we are much rejoic’d to See him again, and so well as he is, we having heard he was Dead.  Thus this Year ends with nothing peculiar accomplish’d against Niagara or Crown-Point — the building of Some Forts — but the Troops are exceedingly wasted by Sickness and by their great Fatigues and hard Fare.  We must now wait the Will of God in what is to follow.  And may God fit me and mine for His holy Pleasure!
