What a life. !!To Mrs. Ann M Walker Dear Sister I write to inform you I am in good health, hoping this may find you the same. When I shall return I don’t know as my experience thus far has only increased my anxiety & ambition to fight the Mexicans. I have witnessed the murder of 18 of my comrades in cold blood and I am determined to revenge their death if I have an opportunity. In December last I crossed the Rio Grande under Gen Somerville with 600 men[.] Gen Somerville thought proper to return after taking two small Towns and accordingly done so without getting a fight a large number of the men not being in a situation to return[,] being without horses or provision and not wishing to return without a fight[.] 300 in number proceeded down the river to Mier crossed and took possession of the Town on the 23rd Decr but disdaining to take what we were were given there without fighting for it we retired without molesting any thing to our camp taking the Alcalde as security for the fulfilment [sic] of the requisition we had made on the 25th[.] [W]e learned that a Mexican force was in the vicinity. We crossed to give them battle with 257 men, leaving the balance on the east Bank of the river to guard the Horses. The force of the enemy was about three thousand with two pieces of Artillery having taken possession of the strongly built Town of Mier. Not with- standing this great advantage in numbers & position the Texians gallantly entered the town under a heavy fire about 7 o clock and after maintaining the conflict for about 18 hours killing & wounding about three times their number surrendered only through their own bad manage- ment or rather for the want of a more determined resolute As a follow-up. there Walker/Colt is NOT PART of this listing.
