1862 September 5, Chapel Hill, N.C.]

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

Friday 5th  The weather still continues fine.  I have been overhaul
-ing my trunk of silver & little parlour ornaments to look
for some articles Eliza needed to take with her--Sarah & Liz
as usual spent the morning in my room.  Lize has been busy
packing--No news of or from Tom----Mrs Branch writes word Noah
is very sick again--So Tom I am afraid will have to give him up.
It makes me feel sad to think he will be without a servant.
Judge Person left for Wilmington this morning & took Eliza's note given
her to draw by Mr Parker.  He is to get the money--
