1862 September 17 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Wednesday 17th  we have all been together in my room all day reading
Adele--& have just heard of the yellow fever being in Wilmington
Mrs Walters had a letter from Mrs Anderson--She says every body's
leaving town--Many families go to the Sound--It is not confined
to one place--But is breaking out in many directions--Mr Campbel
Mrs Tyler--& Miss Parker called to see us--After tea we read again,
the girls had a serenade
