[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Tuesday 9th nothing in the mail to day for me but the "Dispatch" I dont know
what has become of Tom--The news this morning is very good- & calls for
our deepest gratitude & praise to the Almighty God for giving us the
Victory--During the battle, at Manassas the Northern papers say a tall
commanding figure, supposed to have been Jackson, was seen in the
front & thickest of the fight, mounted on a splendid charger, & waving his
sword aloft, urging on his men. Liz has returned & brought some
nice peaches.
