General Ringbloom <salute>
Suh, my compliments!
We all understand that you and General Garner have been in communication, and that this challenge was coming has been common knowledge for some time. There was a thread titled something along the lines of "Surrender or Die" posted some time back.
I do fall within the top four officers in the chain of command as commander of II Corps, Army of the Mississippi. Upon seeing your "light-hearted approach" I simply exercised my position of authority to reply in a like-minded approach upon seeing no reply from our commander due to his card game at Miss Clarissa's. I thought the reply was in the same manner, and funny as all get-go as well. I even talked General Blake into a bonus point
Suh, you have the highest regards of this "militia without shoes", "mob", and whatever other terms you've chosen to describe our force. I believe I do speak for the entire Army of the Mississippi when I say that you will learn just how serious a business fighting is when your forces are sent running north all bloodied up and shot to hell. I certainly do speak for II Corps.
