Confederate ranger whose guerrilla band specialized in attacking and disrupting Union supply lines. Mosby's nickname, The Gray Ghost, was derived from his clandestine attack tactics. ALS signed 'J. S. M.,' one page, 8 x 5, no date. Letter to Alice. In full, 'Please copy for me page 30 - you see I have made some corrections and changes - I shall come to get it about 3 pm today.' He also adds, 'For providence in cost-line, put-put - Heaven - capital H,' in the lower left corner. Letter is affixed to an identical size sheet of heavier stock.
