1862 May 12 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

I have been working hard all day on Elizas dress--& when I
tried it on it did not fit at all--Quite disheart'ning to one who does
her best--Mrs Campbell & Mrs Johnson called--No company at night--all
the visiting students have left.  The girls feel lonely--
