User blog:Johnny Coaleaston/Letter to Samuel Harrington

January 14, 1745

To Samuel Harrington,

''I have had it with you, as have my fellow countrymen, soldiers, and commanders. During the earlier, and still ongoing, battle, you stood on the poop deck of an allied ship, issuing orders at your pleasure. You clearly denied the King's recent commands, making Lord Faye and I your equals, if we were not already. Furthermore, you believe you have power over the Royal Marines and Royal Navy. Last night you claimed that Lord Matthew Faye appointed you Marshall of the Navy. I think not. In case you cannot read, I have copy and pasted below the message on your talk page from King Breasly:''

The Marines

I have been informed from multiple trusted sources that you have attempted the disbanding of the Marines. I am here to tell you that this is not in your power. They are under the jurisdiction of the the Royal Navy, and along with them, First Lord of the Admiralty, Matthew "Blastshot" Faye. Don't hand me that mumbo-jumbo about it having to be a civilian, because I recently had a chat with a friend from England, who then hooked me up with his friend, who is a historian. The historian told me that in 1745 the First Lord of the Admiralty would command the entire Board of Admiralty, and thus, the Navy. However, after 18-something-or-other (I think it's 56 or something) the First Lord had to be a civilian, and the First Sea Lord would command the Navy truly. But, until then, it stays with the historian. Macmonger/Livingston is Second Sea Lord, and Coaleaston is FIRST Sea Lord, as well as commander of the Marines. Coaleaston, Blastshot, Macmorgan, and I are the only four with the power capable to disband the Marines, or have jurisdiction over them. The Royal Navy does not answer to you, only the EITC. Is this clear?

''Now I ask you kindly to stop ordering my men, claiming that you, and only you (and Company) won today's battle. The 27 Royal Marines that helped you are not impressed, as you would have lost without their help.''

I do indeed hope you get fired,
