John Mosby, Civil War Gray Ghost Warrior ALS Re: Defending General Grant

Bi-fold autograph letter signed, 5" x 8". Extensively written on three sides with last page left blank. Dated " November 1, 1899", and signed by John Mosby as "Jno. S. Mosby", In near fine condition, with strong vibrant inks and a split to the end of the central horizontal fold.

Letter to "Alice," in part: "I was very glad to get your letter today-by the same mail came one from Willie Chapman who is in Covington-he will return here in time to go on the Coptic that sails for Hong Kong Dec: 13th. He spoke very nicely about you & that he had mentioned to you my desire for him to bring you back with him-Will you come? I think you must be mistaken about the railroads not giving excursion rates to Front Royal. Ben Palmer wrote me that they w[oul]d give half rates. I am very sorry you were not there-I w'd like for you to have met with my Yankee friend Day-he seemed charmed by his visit. Yesterday I sent a letter to the Richmond Times in answer to that part of Major Richard's address that referred to General Grant-It will appear on Sunday, Nov: 12th. The Yankees used to call me Fra Diavolo-who was a robber. Fra Diavolo is one of my favorite operas-I went to hear it sung a few days ago. So in my article there is a quotation from a song, in it wh. you will recognize if you are familiar with the opera. I had a very narrow plank to walk on-to defend Genl. Grant without saying anything to wound Richards. It was like crossing Niagara on a slack rope-but I think I crossed. I have rec'd a letter from Edith Moore telling me that she was going to be married, & cards of invitation to her wedding. I can't tell now about my being at the next re-union. It has been nearly two years since I left Va."
