CONGRATULATIONS CHUCK ON A GREAT JOB.
From: rick.boswell@gmail.com
PLEASE "KEEP ON KEEPING ON" AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT CONTRIBUTORS. PLEASE EXCUSE THE "ALL CAPITALS" FOR, AS MY FRIENDS AND CORRESPONDENTS KNOW, MY LEFT SHOULDER IS BROKEN AND IT’S MUCH EASIER TO TYPE ONE-HANDED THIS WAY.
IN RESPONSE TO MY GOOD FRIEND H. K. EDGERTONS’ LETTER TO MISS LUNELLE YESTERDAY ABOUT THE LT. GENERAL NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST FLAP,
AS I SIT HERE DRINKING MY MORNING COFFEE, AS USUAL, FROM MY GENERAL NATHAN FORREST MUG, LOOKING AT THE SIX-INCH BRONZE BUST OF GENERAL FORREST ON MY DESK BESIDE MY COMPUTER, AND THINKING OF MY RECENTLY DECEASED SUPER-PEDIGREED, HIGHLY TRAINED GERMAN SHEPHERD, REGISTERED AS ""BOSWELL’S NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST" AND CALLED "NATE" FOR SHORT, WHOSE COMMAND TO ATTACK WAS "SKEER EM, NATE", I’M WONDERING WHEN SOMEONE FROM "OUR" GUVMINT WILL KNOCK ON MY DOOR AND CONFISCATE THEM, ALONG WITH MY CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG, MY MOS&B MUG, SCV MUG, AND ALL OF THE OTHER CONFEDERATE ARTIFACTS PROUDLY DISPLAYED IN MY HOUSE, INCLUDING THE FRAMED PARCHMENT DUPLICATE OF THE ALABAMA ORDINANCE OF SECESSION, SIGNED BY, AMONG MANY OTHERS, MY GGGRANDFATHER JUDGE GAPPA T. YELVERTON, WHO HELPED TO WRITE IT AND, WHILE TOO OLD TO SERVE, RAISED A REGIMENT AND GAVE A SON FOR THE CONFEDERACY.
HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE THEY ALSO CONFISCATE MY SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATES (UNDER SIX ANCESTORS) ALSO PROUDLY FRAMED ON MY WALL, ALL OF WHOMS’ SONS AND GRANDSONS WHO WERE OF AGE SERVED IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY?
I’VE BEEN ASKED TO BE THE SPEAKER AT MY LOCAL SCV CHAPTER NEXT MONTH AND MY SUBJECT WILL BE THE 14TH AMENDMENT, WHICH TOOK AWAY OUR STATES’ RIGHTS. MANY THANKS TO LEW REGENSTEIN, AL BENSON, JR., AND OTHERS WHO SUPPLIED ME WITH MATERIAL. MORE WOULD CERTAINLY WELCOMED FROM ANY OF YOU.
I DON’T KNOW WHEN THEY’LL COME, BUT THE ANSWER IS THEY’LL PRY THEM FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.
LET’S ALL PLEASE TRY TO HELP H. K., WHO DOES A LOT OF GOOD, AND ALL CONFEDERATE CAUSES AND TRY TO STAND UP AS OUR ANCESTORS DID.
