1862 March 11 Chapel Hill, N.C.

[fron the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, a refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]

Tuesday 11th--Liz has taken a bad cold & feels quite unwell
We walked up as far as Mrs Nuns to see if she had conclud
-ed positively not to take us--& finding she had--We made
up our minds to feel satisfied where we are--Several nice
ladies are in this Hotel & I am sorry they intend renting a
house--There are 2 Mrs. Davies',one Dr Greenhow & family
& one other lady all from the neighbourhood of Plymounth
Every night Eliza has two or three students to see her--&
one of them last night accompanied her with his voice on the
piano. This being Lent we have service twice a day--9 o'clock
in the morning--& 4 in the afternoon.
