The Plains of San Jacinto will be long remembered by the Mexicans where we fought them over two to one, their numbers being 15 hundred our not half. We killed about 6 hundred and took the remainder prisoners more than half of them being wounded. I was in the action and think have not dishonored the cause for which we fought. You remind of your promise of coming to Texas or rather your intention, I am glad you are doing well, but hope at present, you have no such intention. At some future period perhaps it might answer, but not in the situation the Country is in at present.
Tomorrow leave here to join the army.
Remember me to Elizabeth. I may yet live to see her, should I not I trust in God. She has other friends who will not forsake her in the time of need nor prove untrue. I have given you only a sketch of the whole of the affairs of Texas. You will perhaps see it more fully in some of the papers.
