Excerpt from The War With Mexico, Vol. 2 of 2
Major-general Scott submitted his first written memoranda on "Vera Cruz and its Castle" to the Secretary of War at Washington on the 27th of October. He had had a previous conversation with the Secretaries of War and Navy on the same subject, and, by a comparison of the dates with those of the letters to General Taylor, in which the subject is treated of, it appears that the consideration of the attack on Vera Cruz, with a view to positive action, was entertained about the latter part of the month of October. On the 12th of November the general-in-chief added a supplement to his memoranda, which, with some few important exceptions, contained expressions of the same views as the first of the papers.
