Dear Sir

I see Ampudia is invading Texas—If any troops are wanted give us a call. I think I can muster atleast 90 men and properly 100—If you think cavalry will not be wonted I will endeavor to change my company into Infantry—I would like for you to give me your views in relation to that.—Capt Burn,s com=pany will go he says as Cavalry if desired
