1862 July 9 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Wednesday 9th  Again I am disappointed in hearing from Tom--Everyone
in the house have received letters from their relatives since the battle
but myself--& I dont know what to think can cause Tom's silence
No papers--We have promise of another very warm day--Yesterday was intolerably
warm--I spent the day in writing letters--In the afternoon Mr Campbell called & brought
me some paper & envelopes Mrs Mallett sent me as a present--At night Judge
Person & Mrs Tyler came down to see Mrs Guthrie from Yazoo City about her
son.  Church this morning but I did not get ready in time to attend.
