[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Thursday 11th -- We have just heard that the box arrived safely
at Durhams-& was given to the Hack driver to bring up here, &
he as either sold or stolen it. He pretends to say he lost it-But
had he done so he would have made it known & had it searched for
as it is he never said one word about it-tho' it happened 15 days
ago--Money wont compensate for the loss--as the things in
it cant be bought again-& we are in wedding haste-poor
Lize she took a good cry-& I really feel sorry for her--We have
written for another bonnet & dress--But the handkerchief
cant be bought any where--Sarah & I paid 4 visits since din
-ner-& they were all pleasant ones. I received a letter from Liz
