1862 June 9 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Monday 9th  I feel better to day.  the weather is still very cold Mrs
Guthrie has had a fire made  up in the parlour--Katy has
a chill again Mr Marshall has left--& Susie looks sad.  Mr
Gorrell has been here nearly all day--& now 3 other gentle
men have gone in--2 Rushers & Mr Armstead--the latter
leaves for the War--I have just heard they are fighting in
Charleston--If so Joe will be there--Oh there is no end to my trou-
ble & anxiety-God grant he may not be injured-tho
he may be in the battle--no letter again to day from Mr Mason
