1862 December 21 Chapel Hill, N.C.

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

Saturday 21st [sic] I have been doing up things for Eliza--While she has
been running about the Village getting her dress & bonnet altered
Little William is quite unwell again--& the great panic which
was caused yesterday by the report of small pox at Mr Wm
Davis' has subsided by hearing it was by the physicians decided to be
chicken pox.
