A decisive action was daily expected between Santa Anna and Houston. The Mexican army amounts to nearly 5,000 men, infantry and cavalry; the Texians to about 2,5000, more determined than well equipt. Santa Anna has prosecuted his intention of exterminating the Texians...". The report carries over to pg. 2 as well.
