Civil War on the Texas Homefront: Autograph letter, signed.

- Used
[Texas] [Civil War] S. H. Darcy. Autograph letter, signed. La Grange, Texas. June 4, 1863. To Mrs. Jones. One page. 8 x 10.5 in. Black ink on blue paper. Approximately 250 words.
La Grange, Texas, the county seat of Fayette County, was untouched by fighting during the Civil War. This letter gives an interesting view of the home front in 1863. A long discussion on getting a quantity of sugar, which would have been scarce and which "cost me by the hogshead 1 dollar a pound" but will let her have a pound for "less than 1 dollar and 25 cents." Mentions someone who traveled to Arkansas and saw her sister, indicating that the war had not yet disrupted travel of that sort. In addition, a number of Confederate militia companies were organized at La Grange. The letter writer indicates that a friend had a letter from "Wink" who says "they are ordered to the Rio grande." Civil war material of this type from La Grange is uncommon.- Seller Independent bookstores (US)
