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

Saturday 30th  Liz has gone up to spend the day with Mrs.
Lucas–Mr M & Eliza have gone to the Library–Sarah & I
are enjoying a pleasant chat all morning while we carried on
our knitting–At 4 O’clock Mrs Watters & Sarah went off to return
visits–I could not accompany them having to put trimming on
Eliza’s white frock for her to wear tomorrow. Mr. Mason has just
taken her to ride –Susie & Mollie are dressed up expecting two
students to call–the Renchers have left the Hill.
