1862 December 12 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Friday  The weather has moderated very much & little William
rejoices to get out into the campus again--Every day we think
he gets smarter--I dont think I ever saw so bright
a child--Every one notices what a fine child he is-We have
just heard that Mr William Wright has bought Mrs Reeses
house--if so he has one of the finest lots in the place-&
we will soon have many Wilmington families here-Lize &
I have been arranging her trunk since tea-& Sarah took
supper out-Ben Guthrie left for Charlotte.  Sarah received a
letter from her mother-No letters for Lize & myself

MSS 6960
