Black Confederate CSR

If anyone can find a CSR for this man I would appreciate it

Aaron Burton
Body Servant To John Singleton Mosby

Dear Liz: [Mosby's sister]
Beauregard and Johnston are expected to move their headquarters up to Fairfax to-day. . . . Although Captain Jones is a strict officer he is very indulgent to me and never refuses me any favor I ask him. I think he will be made a Colonel very soon. Aaron [Mosby's negro servant] considers himself next in command to Captain Jones. . . . Nobody thinks the war will continue longer than a few months. We will clean them out in two more battles.

Camp near Fairfax Court House,
September 14, 1861.
