[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Sunday 7th All went to Church--Communion day--Mr Hilliards
child was received into the Church a new way they have of doing up here
the child was christened on the 17th of last month privately--& then brought
up yesterday- to be received by the people at church- & was then signed
with a cross -- Mr Hilliard has attained a situation in the Army as
Chaplain & resigned his place in this Church to old Mr Wingfield who
will fill it very well--He bid his people farewell very affectionately
& gave a feeling address on the occasion--At night I went to Church
again-& on my return home found a note from Lize--She had arrived
