Sin: 10 pursuance of u resolution which have
now the honor to communicate to you, beg leave
TO offer to your department the services Of the
"Richmond Fayetle Artillery" for any duty you
may be pleased TO assign To U.S.
This corps, being one OF volunteers, has been in

cepon Of three commissioned officers and two coma
pany officers, it is composed exclusively Of mechan-
ics We are well uniformed, well equipped with
swords, pistols and four beautiful sixpounder brass
guns and could assemble for duty upon short no.
tcc. The strength of the ifFdny might, with
readiness, be increased to the complement of full
company, according TO regulation.
In making this offer, we actuated as our reso-
luton expresses, by the threatening attitude Of Mex
leo towards our country. We are not uniformed
of Ihe many wrongs fellowcilizcns have suffer-
ed at the hands of Mexico--her refusal to render
justice in many yet unadusted cases-and the viola
ton of right which she would commit by now inva-
ding Texas. We do not desire war; but as volun-
teers in view of the position she has assumed, we
feel that we are in the proper discharge Of our duty
when VIC offer ourselves for war-service.
Should there be, in the opinion Of your depart
ment, necessity for draught from the Volunteers Of
Virginia, beg to say, for myself and my corps, that
should feel greatly honored by being included
among them.
