Dear Lawrence Velvel:

Thank you for your thoughts. I am myself an historian of the American Revolution and agree with you that soldiers repeatedly simply went home when their enlistments were up. Our local counsel Jim Klimaski is something of a military attorney and he pointed out yesterday, as did you, that the same happened in the Civil War.

Thank you.
