[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Wednesday 14th Tom left us last night 12 OClock--& it grieved me sadly
to see him leave--I have committed him to a Kind Providence
who watches over all--& pray & trust he may be spared to return.
He appeared to dislike leaving his little friend Mary very much
& no doubt she disliked parting with him--We heard yesterday
of Mrs Badhams heavy loss--their gallant son fell at the
battle of Williamsburg fighting for his home & country--Woe
woe, to the Yankee hirelings who have come South to send
such agony & grief to families who have never injured them.
May God take our Cause in his hands & stop this carnage
now raging against the Confederacy In him we put our trust
to him we look for help & assistance--
