User blog:Johnny Coaleaston/Resignation from the Board of Warfare

March 25, 1745

To the Right the Honourable Lord Sir Matthew Faye,

''On this day, the twnety-fifth of March, in the year of our Lord 1745, I have personally, and without any provocation of comrades, come to the decision that I shall resign my post as Lord Director of the Royal British Board of Warfare. I am intensly inactive on game, therefore unable to fulfill orders given to me regarding that area. I believe the responsibility should fall to a person more willing to submit time to dealing with these matters. I do request, however, to maintain a position as Vice Admiral of the Blue, commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Royal Navy. I believe that on that smaller scale I shall be able to do my country well. ''

Your most loyal and humble servant,

Johnathan O' Reilly
