[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Sunday--We awoke much to Eliza's grief to find it damp
& drizzling--as she had anticipated coming out in her new
bonnet & summer clothes--But finding it would not do to
venture them--She laid them all away for a brighter day--
We all went to Church being Communion day--& Mr
Hilliard gave us a fine sermon--Since I have become
accustomed to his delivery I like him very much. At
first I could not understand half he said--Mr Hubbard
always assists at Communion--the students are leaving us
fast now--& soon the Hill will be deserted. Mr Nicolson waited on Eliza to
church & told her He would leave to-morrow.
