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

Mond Tuesday 29th  –We have all been together in my room this
morning talking–Since dinner all have retired to their rooms
it is very warm again today–William was quite sick in
the night but seems better to day–He is walking about &
so fretful–I received a letter from Fan Bradley to day–&
three papers–But no very startling news–Prisoners are to be
exchanged & Captain Johnston will have to go–“Pope”
