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

Friday 26th [sic]
Too rainy to go out–But the students came at
night as usual. We have two more families added to
our number very pleasant ladies–The Bradley girls
have arrived & board at Mrs. Hargraves–Mr. Mason &
Eliza have gone to take a walk—It will soon be reported
around she is engaged—
