[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Sunday 28th We have all been to Church & Mr. Wingfield gave us a
good sermon. Mr. Johnston read the service, & the congregation
was large--Since Church we have had the death of Dr. Dickson
confirmed & instead of Dr. A.E. Wright we learn the other death
was Dr. Thomas--Dr. Mallet after two months sickness is still
so low that his family have sent for his father--Fever raging more
violently than ever in Wilmington--They have sent to Charleston
& Richmond for nurses & physicians--God's anger heavy indeed
upon us for our past ingratitude & sins--The bible tells us that
before the end of the World we will have War, pestilence & fa
-mine the two first is upon us--& the other is fast approaching.
