Doa GzNRAL--
Permit a soldier, who has had the honour of serving under
your command throughout some of the most stirring scenes of the war
with Mexico, to dedicate to you the following pages-being simply the
journal of an expedition remarkable for many events worthy of being
preserved for the future.
The tribute is offered, not only as a token of the high regard and
esteem in which you were held by the men and officers under your
command, whose friend and leader you were; and of the high sense
universally entertained for your military talents, for which you are so
justly distinguished; but also for the kind courtesies received at your
bands while in the service of our common country.
With great respect,
I have the honour to be
Your ob't servant,
SAM'L C. REID, Ja.
