[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Tuesday 2d Liz has gone to pass the day with Mrs Lucas--I have been busily
at work--Lize & Mr Mason together in the parlour--No letters to day
from Richmond but one from Mrs Branch--saying Noah was
all ready to start to Virginia when Toms letter arrived saying
dont send him until he wrote for him to come. I am truly sorry
it happened so--as Toms next letter begged me to start him. Mrs
Branch had put up a nice ham & other eatables for him too--Mr.
Mason leaves tonight for Richmond--We area all sorry to part
with him such dreadful times as these are--His furlough
only extended 6 or 7 days--We have just hear of another battle.
