Gentlemen,
This is to announce the appointment of General Dave Bowman as Interim CSA Chief of the Armies, effective immediately. (This appointment has been approved by both CSA Cabinet Secretaries, per Club Rule 3.3.5.3.)
Thank you to all, especially the Confederates, for your patience while the details have been worked out. Also, my thanks to Col. Quick for his assistance in resolving some issues we were having with the telegraph system. (Next thing you know, he'll have me riding in one of those new-fangled observation balloons!)
A sub-committee of the Cabinet is diligently working on resolving some of the issues raised in the latest election. The plan is to give them some more time to complete their work before conducting an election for a permanent CSA CoA.
All the proper authorizations may not be set up for a few hours, but in the meantime please join me in a show of support for General Bowman. Drinks are on my tab.
Your humble servant,
Gen 'Dee Dubya' Mallory
David W. Mallory
