[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Tuesday 8th Liz moved into a room upstairs nearer mine--& has fix
-ed it up very comfortably--I spent the morning in writing to Joe & sew
-ing a little--Mr. Walker Mears who is up here in search of a place
to board his family came in, & chatted with us very pleasantly
tonight--He has not succeeded in obtaining board -- & returns
home disappointed--No gentlemen called tonight--It has been
raining very hard--& since Mr. Mason's last visit they have
made their visits "few and far between"--, feeling assured Eliza
is engaged-- She does not care about their dropping off--But I
do as it made the evenings livlier--& pass pleasantly by with the
addition of music--
