1862 August 14 New Bern, N.C.

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

Thursday  14th  Still cool & pleasant.  Liz has a head cold, & feels quite unwell
this morning--Eliza is getting along finely with her straw bonnet she is making.
The ladies are all working up wheat straw  Some into hats--Some into
bonnets
