Fabled Confederate ranger (1833–1916) whose guerrilla band specialized in attacking and disrupting Union supply lines. He earned the nickname ‘The Gray Ghost’ for his clandestine and highly effective attack tactics. ALS signed “Jno: S. Mosby,” one page, 7.75 x 10.25, October 3, 1903. Letter to “Dear Alice.” In full: “It has been a long time since I heard from you. I don't remember wh. of us wrote last - it is all the same. I have just recd. a 30 days leave of absence but it is doubtful about my availing myself of it before Nov. 30th. I have a good deal of work wh. I want to close up before I go as I don't expect to return here. I have just written to Miss Kate & sent you my love by her. I hope Chinn has gotten over the state of agitation he was in last Spring over the Smoot estate. I have had a very pleasant time at Birmingham with my relations there whom I had never seen. Where did you spend the Summer? I spent mine among the pine forests - the thermometer 100°. Still my health is very good.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, and a mild shade of toning.
