Dear, I need pen and ink.
:46:27
I got to write a letter.
:46:37
A letter to the President?
:46:39
Any objections?
:46:42
Would you like to dictate it?
:46:44
- Yeah.
- Whenever you're ready.
:46:52
"To his excellency...
:46:55
...the President
of the United States...
:46:59
...etc., etc.
:47:01
Dear Sir...
:47:04
...I have written to you during
the past months three times...
:47:08
...without the courtesy
of an answer.
:47:14
Besides...
:47:16
...you have refused me
the interview...
:47:18
...which simple justice demands.
:47:24
Because of your intervention,
I stand...
:47:30
...a man condemned,
a man without trial.
:47:36
Get all that?
Read it to me.
:47:43
"Sir, my regiment
has been ordered...
:47:46
...to join the expedition about
to move against the Indians.
:47:50
I appeal to you...
:47:52
...not as the President
of the United States...
:47:55
...but as one soldier
to another.
:47:58
Spare me the humiliation
of seeing my regiment...
