1862 October 30 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Thursday 30th  A beautiful clear pleasant day--Everything looks
so bright & lovely out of doors--that we can scarcely imagine trou-
-ble any where about.  But the lady in the room above me is n
great distress & I feel sincerely for her--She is quite young & only been
married 6 months-& her husband who has just been exchanged has
left to join his company.
