1862 March 9 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Sunday 9th Mrs Mallet kindly took us to Church this morning
where we heard quite a good discourse from Mr Hilliard the
Minister residing here--Tis a neat pretty Church & I could
but think of Bishop Green as I looked around how he la
boured to get it built--How generously he gave to it
& now far far away--Bishop Atkinson is expected soon
when it is hoped he will have many to confirm--I did not
go out at night as I did not feel well enough--Being Lent
Mr Hilliard has the Church opened twice a day--9 in the morning
4 oclock in the afternoon.
