1862 October 20 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Monday 20th  Mr Mason arrived very unexpectedly last night &
after eating breakfast Lize & Liz persuaded him to turn back
and go to Enfield with them--they were all packed & ready to start
before they heard of his arrival--He has been ordered to Columbus Georgia
& is on his way there--So they had two escorts instead of one--Mr Mason
& Mr Julius Guthrie--I have been suffering night & day with tooth
ache which has given me fevers--& makes me feel chilly & badly--
