1862 June 20 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Friday  the rain is over--& the weather again very good--Too cold
for the season--I would like a shawl around me--Christian[a?]
Campbell has returned from Fayetteville she called to see us, & we
heard thro' her of a great many of our Wilmington friends--& that
several of them in Fayetteville were returning as Mrs Dawson
has done to Wilmington--Tired of being from home--they will
run the risk of the Town being taken.
