1862 July 20 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Sunday 20th  The Sun is out brightly this morning--I felt soon after break
-fast too unwell I thought to attend Church--but by Eleven OClock
the hour Church takes in up here--I felt better--& am glad now
I did to--As Mr Hilliard gave us an excellent sermon & Mr
Hubbard read the Service very solemnly--The Congregation was as
large as I have ever seen it up here-& the people attentive.  Mrs
London was there--& we walked home together--she leaves here for
Raleigh to morrow--Mrs Duncan Moore & her daughters are here on
their way to Charlotte.  I received a long letter from Mary to day- &
Eliza one from Mary Wilson.  All were well & enjoying themselves
Mary says Mrs Myers has heard from Mrs Springs & she intended writing Joe--
