Col. Almonte’s Diary entry for February 27, 1836 Saturday—The northern wind was strong at day break, and continued all the night. Thermometer at 39 degrees. Lieutenant Manuel Menchacho was sent with a party of men for the corn, cattle and hogs at the rancho of Seguin and Flores. It was determined to cut off the water from the enemy on the side next to the old mill. There was little firing from either side during the day. The enemy worked hard to repair some entrenchments. In the night a courier extraordinary was dispatched to the city of Mexico, informing the Government of the taking of Bexar and also to Gen’ls Urrea, Filisola, Cos & Vital Fernandez. No private letters were sent.
