LETTER FROM THE ALAMO FOR HISTORY JOURNAL:
Commandancy of the Alamo –
Bejar,
Fby. 24th 1836 –
To The
People of Texas & all Americans in the world –
Fellow
citizens & compatriots –
I am
beseiged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna – I have
sustained a continual Bombardment & connonade for 24 hours & have not
lost a man – The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, or otherwise,
the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken – I have answered
the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the
walls – I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of
Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come
to our aid, with all dispatch – the enemy is receiving enforcements daily &
will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this
call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible &
die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of
his country – Victory or Death.
William
Barret Travis
Lt.
Col. cmdt
P.S.
The Lord is on our side – When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three
bushels of corn – We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels &
got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves –
Travis

Poetry: Our fourth-quarter poem is
Song of Life
A traveler on a dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree.
Love sought its shade at evening-time,
To breathe its early vows;
And Age was pleased, in heights of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore -
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle on the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that Toil might drink.
He passed again; and lo! the well,
By summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved a life beside.
A nameless man, amid the crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied from the heart,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised a brother from the dust,
It saved a soul from death.
O germ! O fount! O word of love!
O thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.
