1862 May 3 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Saturday 3d  I have had a pain in my eyes & head ache--Eliza has
just received her bonnet from Charlotte--It is quite pretty--
but very dear--I have been busy sewing all day & will go up
to see Mrs Dawson after dinner--Liz walked up to Mrs Phillips
to see her sick chile & Eliza went to walk with Mr Parker
After tea Mr Nicolson & Powell called  also the two Mr
Renshers--they had a merry time in the parlour--after
the elder ladies left--Lize & Tom both received letters from
Mr Mason--Mr Eddy Mears is here also--But will leave
very soon.  This has been a charming May day
