1862 August 15 New Bern, N.C.

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

Friday 15th  Sarah & Mrs Walters both have received letters --But
they were of old dates--It is so cool that we have all added to our
wardrobes--No letter from Mr Mason since the battle at or near
Gordonsville--Eliza is very uneasy--& I feel so myself--as he was
with General Winder who was killed
