1862 August 7 Chapel Hill, N. C.

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

Thursday--Being Cloudy it is much cooler--No letters this morn
-ing.  My eye still painful & running water--Liz, Sarah & I
walked up after tea to see Mrs Tyler & Person--The latter too sick to
be seen--We have just heard the Federals have taken Kingston--
are moving on to Goldsboro'--I hope it may be untrue--It has been
uncommonly warm all day.  Mrs. Wm Davis called to see us all.
