Commandancy of the Alamo
Bexar, Febry. 24th 1836 ---

To the people of Texas and all Americans in the world --

Fellow citizenins & 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, & 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 & everhthig dear to
the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch -- The
enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & with no doubt increases 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. 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 homes
80 or 90 bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves --
                                                    Travis
