On recipt of your Genl. order of this date announcing that an attack on the fortifications of Bexar would be made by Storm tomorrow morning I have ascertained the disposition of the officers and men of my division and believe it to be my duty to report that a majority of them are opposed to the measure and are unwiliing to attempt it and I concur in opinion with them Philip A. Sublett Lt Col. 21 Nov 1835 [1267) [WESTCOTT to PERRY] [Robert Westcott, Philadelphia, to James F.

Head Quarters before Bexar Nov. 22, l835 Capt. J. W. Fannin having represented to me that the absolute nec~ssity of returning home, I have granted to him an honorable discharge and have to say that he has uniformly discharged his duty as a soldier and as an officer.
