[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Friday 26th Still bad news from Wilmington the fever spreading Liz
has gone into the country to spend the day with Mrs Phillips--Sarah has
received the anxiously expected letter from Fred. He & Mr Walters are
well they remain at the same place Bolivar county & are faring
well. They have had several alarms, but no engagement. Mr Sam
Holmes has joined their company 2[8?] Miss The Cavalry number 160-
They wanted to divide in squads something of the Guerrilla style
But Colonel Starkes refused to allow them. Sarah also heard from
her overseer all getting on well out there. We are reading the partisan
Leader But it has not become interesting yet--
