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

Thursday  Weather still bright–No letters–Nothing new in
the papers–Miss Wingfield has received her long looked for letter
& seems in better spirits–4 gentlemen came in at night–Mr Lee
Mr Adams–Mr Parker–& Mr Marshall–they had a merry
time & played whist with the girls–Night before the two Mr
Renshers were here –& in the after noon Eliza walked with
Mr Bunting–Liz & I walked around the Campus after tea–
