Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[Derald Riggs]

Gentlemen of the Army of the Cumberland:

It has been a busy holiday season at my house so please forgive the tardiness of this communication.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please give extra foodstuff to your men as supply allows. Our extra supply of spirits has been delayed but should arrive in plenty of time for celebration of the arrival of 2011.

May God bless the Union and the Army of the Cumberland.

All the best for the coming year to all of the AotC Family and Friends. Maybe Mark Nelms will finally buy us a drink! Sorry about that m the first time...........

Heck, I know ark Nels ain't buying and I owe hi anyway so pick up your swords and eander up to the bar and I'll buy a round in ark's nae. That's funny, the "m" ain't working on my keyboard either.

Who is this cheapskate Nels guy anyway? Obviously should be in charge of latrines or something. Since it is New Year's Eve I'll order one of my staff officers to buy us all a drink on me. Happy New Year to one and all....well maybe not the Rebels!

[David Danner]

Ok the M an N's have spoken--we all drink on the "Blackhawks."

[Antony Barlow]

Cheers, and good health to you all, gentlemen
