Camp Salado Oct. 26 1835
I shall move with the Army today to the Missions, and press the
operations as fast as my force will permit— I have but four hundred effective
men— Genl. Cos has about 800 or 900, and is well fortified
We need reinforcements, I shall persevere here— My health is very
bad— There has been skirmishing dayly but no loss on our side—
S. F. Austin [Rubric]
