W. R. Jarmon to Gen. Webb, November ??, 1861

A letter from the camp near Green river, written by Capt. W. R. Jarmon to his old law partner Gen. Webb, pays a high tribute to this body of men at that period. While the letter was in the interest of his company, "F" in which he spoke of many acts of that company, he said, "although they (the Rangers) are upon sick beds, although each day they are being made fresh graves, although the cold is intolerable, this band of young men, sons of the best blood of Texas, and who never knew a hardship, are uncomplaining, and go t duty like veterans, and without murmur or complaint. There is little discipline, none is required, they seem to know their duty, and do it in a way that is most satisfactory and commendable, and only a few to discharge the duty for the many both sick and dead. They are a grand body of men, worthy the name of Rangers and Texas."
