1862 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Wednesday 4th  Mr Hubbard delivers a lecture this morning
but the weather is too bad for the ladies to venture out--It
rained all night--Is still drizzling & blowing a perfect
gale.  I am quite unwell this morning--& feel no energy
fro anything--No letters--& the papers contain nothing
new--Mr Gorrell took breakfast with Eliza this morn
-ing--& I made myself known to an old acquaintance
& intimate friend of my husbands Governor Manly
Liz leaves tomorrow & I hate to think of it--Dr Mallett has gone
to Richmond & I begged him to see about Tom--
