Brig. General Ringbloom,
Drex,
Good Morning, Sir! A rider rode into my camp this morning and stated you had issued a challenge and that I should come see! [:)]
So here I am, Sir! All 6 foot and 2 1/2 inches of me! (You'll also notice that my eyes are brown... if that has any particular significance to you!) [;)]
As for the Army of the Mississippi being pretty hot stuff? Well, Yes Sir... we definitely are! We spend many hours out in the heat of the sun... drilling our troops hour after hour. We are men of strength and valor... we are ready to face any enemy... foreign or domestic... in the service of our beloved Confederacy!
As for my dart playing skills... well, I'm not particularly good at darts and I don't care that much for cigars and most anyone could probably drink me under the table... so the only reason I frequent the Taverns is to say "Hello" to my boys and hear the rumors about our Yankee foes.
As for Corcoran's Legion... I'd never heard of it before about a week ago. But then I suppose no one had heard of the Fourth Cavalry Corps of the AotM until I started frequenting the Taverns and beating my chest to stir the pot and gain some notoriety for our fine unit. [:D]
Well, it seems it's time to test our metal and so it is with great pleasure that I accept the challenge that you have laid down for us on the Gettysburg Field of Battle. I look forward to accepting you and your Officer's swords when they surrender the field of battle to us in the days ahead.
Please send a dispatch rider to my HQ letting me know how many Officer's I need to put in the field against you and we can discuss the terms and conditions of the battle.
Warmest Regards,
General Roger Hulinsky
Cmdg, Cavalry
IV Corps, AotM
