Let me first welcome our dear comrade Gen. Rostislav to the conversation. Although we differ in our opinions of state's rights, we do admire the generals mettle in battle. That being said, I must turn to a subject that gives me much pain.

A southern brother has betrayed us. Even with explicit correspondence stating otherwise, the Reverend Wright is indeed allied with Bob Barr. I need only point to the obvious, his actions along his northern borders. While Gen. D Shean bears the brunt of the Northern assault, the Reverend sits idly without raising musket or bayonet. This inaction, this paralysis that is so common to Northern generals, must not stand.

I intend to make a full frontal assault on the Reverend's Tennessee border. I do not expect other southern brother's to join me. Many men will be lost, but make no mistake that this battle is necessary.

I do so solemnly. I do so with humility. I do so for the great brothers Allman.

I ain't wasting time no more.

Joe.
