[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Friday--A very unpleasant day--Still we all returned to the
Chapel to hear the speaking--Mr Armstead Mr Yonge Mr
Cameron--& Mr Fitzgerald were the Orators--all done well
& bouquets were showered upon them in profusion--Before
the services were thro the rain came down in torrents---We
had to come hoe thro' it all--& I got my Mantle ruin
-ed--Mr Fitzgerald & Powell were here at night to
see Eliza & Mr Reasher took her to Senior speaking
Friday it has cleared off & the sun is out this morning--
Tom had a letter from Ellen -- Dr Walker arrived last night to see Eliza
