Scope & Content |
2 letters written by J. M. Noble, 12th Texas Cavalry in Arkansas In the first letter, Noble (who at this time seems to have been a Sgt.) complains to his wife, Hattie, about having to stay behind in camp to attend to paperwork and organizational matters while most of the unit goes out to scout. He also mentions a captured Union Captain who says many union soldiers are unhappy with the Emancipation Proclamation. Noble closes by expressing his disapproval of the Confederate Conscription Act. In the second letter, Noble admits that he was sick with Jaundice when he wrote the earlier letter and is still sick. He also describes a brief skirmish with Union soldiers in which his men came out on top. "The Yankee's would not stand. They stood a few fires, but when we began the charge with the alarming Ranger Yell, they changed front & took with a leaving." |
