1862 December 13 Chapel Hill, N.C..

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

Saturday 13th  Eliza received her dresses from Raleigh & just as I ex
-pected she is not satisfied with them--She has Mrs Young Chapel Hill
dressmaker altering them all evening--I have done very little work
to day tho' I awoke expecting to do a great deal--Sarah & Eliza took
a long walk since dinner, the weather has moderated--We hear
there is a fight going on in Fredericksburg, & near Kinston
I am afraid Mrs Campbell will remain so long in Wilmington
that she cant get away again.
