[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Saturday 27th Still cool & pleasant--We have finished the Book---dont
think it very interesting but I am glad I read it--Liz gone off again
to spend the day with Mrs. Person. Sarah & her mother out returning visits
I have been all day altering Eliza's basque sleeves--finished them & my
sock too--Mrs. Walters has returned & heard while out that Dr. Dickson
& Adam Wright had died with the yellow fever & it had not abated
at all--Eliza & I were all ready to go up for Liz at Mrs Person's when we
heard she was coming home so we were disappointed.
