War-dated ALS signed “W. Nicholson,” three pages both sides, 5 x 8, December 25, 1863. Nicholson writes to his Aunt, in part; “We expect to have some skirmishing and fighting today…I took this sheet of paper & envelope from a Yankey.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, scattered creases, a few edge tears, some light toning and soiling, and a couple ink spots. Nicholson was a member of the famous ‘Terry’s Texas Rangers,’ a group of Texas volunteers for the Confederate States Army assembled by Colonel Benjamin Franklin Terry in August 1861. In four years these Rangers fought in some 275 engagements in seven states. The unit earned a reputation that ranked it among the most effective mounted regiments in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.
