Commandancy of the Alamo
Bexar, Fby. 24th, 1836
To the People of Texas & all Americans in the world Fellow Citizens & Compatriots I am besieged by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise the garrison are to be put to the sword if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender nor retreat.
Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism,
& of everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid
with all dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements
daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five
days. If this call is neglected, I am deter-mined 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

Lt. Col. Comdt.
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.
