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

Sunday  It has been severely cold to day–But the Church was as full
as ever–No letters to day as no Hack came from Durham last
night so we are all disappointed.  I have written Tom a long letter
tho’ I have not heard of or from him since the battle of Fredericksburg.
But no news is said to be good news.
