Announcement to the army of General Zachary Taylor's victory at Buenavista.

" Hopes that "all may participate in the joy that is now spreading itself throughout the breadth of our land. " Thomas Williams (1815-1862) was a lieutenant upon signing this note, but later became a Brigadier General in the Union army.
