1862 May 19 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Monday  Still very threatning & cloudy--I feel grieved that we
should have such bad weather during Convention--when it
was so lovely last week--Went to Church & heard a good sermon
but dont know the name of the minster.  Received a letter from
Tom at Enfield.  He had a pleasant trip that far & found Noah
ready to go with him.  Liz took tea at Mrs Persons--I have finished
Eliza's delaine dress & it fits nicely--Mr Fetter has returned--The
Bradleys speak of returning to Wilmington.  Mary sick in
bed--also Miss Connick--Mr Branch came to see Eliza last
night all of our Convention people have gone--Jimmie
Wright now Captain Wright & Lieutenant Dick Langdon came
up from Goldsboro on Saturday & stayed until to night
