1862 April 14 Chapel Hill, N.C.

[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.c.]

Monday 14th--It is cloudy today--But not at all chilly--
Some of the ladies have gone to church--But I have
something particular to occuy me this morning at
home--And will attend this afternoon--We have had good
news from Corinth--Buel killed--& Beauregard had taken (report says)
30-000 prisoners--But then on the back of this news we learn Fort
Pulaski has surrendered--
