[from the diary of Eliza Oswald Hill, refugee from Wilmington, N.C.]
Wednesday--While looking for Eliza to return-A carriage drove
up all buttoned down on account of the rain-& when opened
out jumpt Mr Anderson-Who had only left the day before for
Raliegh-where we thought he had gone on u\business-& soon follow
ed a nice look[ing] girl who he appeared to lift out rather affectionately
In one moment it struck me he must be married-So after the lady
went into the parlour-I called to Mr A- & asked him if he was
married? To which he replied yes Mam that is my wife, & soon
after he introduced her to his sister Mrs Guthrie-I had no idea
anything could go on so secretly in a Hotel.
