[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Tuesday--very chilly & unpleasant today--Tom seems
better--I have persuaded him to take the wild cherry--
I have been busy making a shirt for him to put on.
Mrs.[Duresantres?] just sent me word her child Fanny is sick
and as Dr. Armand De Rossett has rented Mrs. Nuns house
she will have to look for bard elsewhere & is worried
about it not having her husband here--Every day I am
thankful we did not put off until the eleventh hour
coming up--As we have been pleasantly accommodated.
Mrs. Person and Tyler still here.
