1862 June 16 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Monday 16 So cold this morning that  I have had a large fire made to warm
the room--The girls have been up to the Library to get books with Mr
VanDyke--That is Milly & Eliza.  the others have gone to return visits.
After sewing all the morning I walked out to see Miss S Mallet
--not finding her at home-- I went over to Judge Person's & spent
an hour or two with Mrs. Person who is very unwell again
Mrs. Tyler was out but returned before I left--While there I saw Mrs
Hepburn & Mrs. Fetter.  The girls had visitors last night. They amu
-sed themselves with music. Mrs. Dawson leaves for Wilmington
tomorrow she promised to come down after tea to sit with me
& say goodbye--but she has not come--
