[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Tuesday--A sweet little letter from my Grand daughter Willie telling me her
uncle Richd has invited her to Georgia to spend the winter & she
wants to go very much--If I will take her out with me--No box
again to day--Nor any letter from Liz--I have been busy with my
room to day--Having a miserable old worn out carpet taken up-
& every thing cleaned--The room looks bare with out any thing on the floor
but I dont like to put down any of my carpets as I do not expect
to remain here many weeks longer--Sarah received a letter
from Fred today he was well--Two subscriptions have been here to
day for soldiers--I wish I had $100 to give them for it hurts
me much to think they are barefooted--
