Brig. General Reneau,
Wow... this conversation has surely gotten a bit out of hand!
From hiding behind Mrs. Lincoln's bed skirts to wearing a skirt! My oh my... you ALL must have drunk a whole lot of "Oh Be Joyful" tonight! I... on the other hand am sleeping out on the cold hard ground with Minnie Balls and Cannon Balls zinging overhead. I was there beside my men the better part of two hours trying to cut a road through the woods so that I could rescue 3 artillery batteries and our supply wagon after General Reneau so gracelessly drove them off the road before we could even get within fighting distance.
I think it is "HE" who is trying to avoid the fight... for he's done everything he could to keep our two armies from meeting. From hit and run tactics by his cavalry... to falling hundreds of trees across the road... to causing landslides over the road to prevent our use of them. I was approached by the townsfolk of Emmitsburg and they are not at all happy with all the damage General Reneau has caused to the region. They will have his head if I can catch up to him and bring him to justice!
A pleasant evening to you all... <salute>
