Every man in Texas is now called upon to take up arms in defence of his

required to do so or they can join it at James Kerrs on La Baca which
is the principal rendezvous—
A corps of reserve will be formed to march on and sustain the advance.
Those who cannot join the advance are required to unite with the reserve
