1862 November 26 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Wednesday  it has cleared of & bitter cold--I have had a letter
from Mrs Kennedy-informing Eliza of 2 pretty dresses Alice
De Rossett will part with if Eliza wishes to purchase them.
She also requested me to find out if Mrs Morrow was here or
gone to Goldsboro--I answered her letter by return mail-
Mrs Campbell has returned from Fayetteville & has promised to
go with Eliza to Raleigh to have her dresses made--She saw Mrs
Walters in Fayetteville.
