1862 June 3 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Tuesday 3d  Another cloudy threatning day--It is a pity we have
such weather at Commencement--I have received two letters
to day, one from Joe & one from Mary--Nothing new in either
I am so anxious about the fate of Tom I cannot sit quietly to any
thing--The ladies all go to speaking again to night--rain or
no rain--Eliza & her beaux are playing cards--The 2 Renshers
Mr Grand[?] Armsted Marshall & Parker are all in the par
-lour & returned from Speaking--Mr Rob C McRee done
better than all--young Guthrie a failure--Still the bouquet
was sent
