Wedding and Other Personal Adjustments

Yes, I got married on the 9th of August 2003 to a most wonderful lady named Susan. For the time being, we are living at my place. Once she gets her condo sold and I get my house likewise disposed of, we plan to buy a place together in the area. For the time being, I still remain at the old address and phone number. When this changes, I will notify the membership.

Because of the wedding plans and the fact that I've been remodeling my house so as to sell it, I have not been as prompt in getting this issue out as I might otherwise have liked. Nevertheless I ask the subscribers to despair not, for your subscriptions will not become due again until you have received all four issues of Volume XIII. Since this is only issue number 2, you will have plenty of time to save up your hard earned dollars before you need to subscribe again.

Concerning This Issue

I have decided to go bact to the use of matte cardboard stock for the covers of the Journal. The glossy stock tends to result in occassional smudging.

Although I normally try to avoid the publication of "theme" issues on the strength that not everyone may necessarily be interested in that issues particular theme, the strange coincidence of my having received two related articles dealing with the colonies and colonial troops has turned this into a sort of de facto theme issue nevertheless. In addition, I have inserted the first of a multiple-part article on George Washington.
