In part: “The painful duty again devolves upon me of reporting the loss of an Officer of this Army—Bvt 2nd Lieut. Henry Merrill, 5th Infantry, while passing from the transport Schooner ‘Gen’l Worth’ to the vessel employed as a lighter at Aransas Pass, a spar fell from the latter vessel and fractured his skull—producing death in a few hours. This melancholy occurrence took place at St. Joseph Island on the 24th inst. I enclose herewith the return of the ‘Army of Occupation’ for September…Private James McGoldrick, K Company, surrendered himself to Col. Riggs as a deserter on the 6th of August last, and I respectfully await instructions as to the disposition to be made of him.” Scattered toning, including some over signature, and intersecting folds, otherwise fine condition. Taylor and his Army of Occupation were sent to the Texas-Mexico border by President Polk in anticipation of an attack the following spring.
