We received, a day or two ago, the annexed let

on the subject of Texan affairs. The letter should
have reached on the arrival OF the western but
owing Ia some carelessness in the bearer, it was
sarown into the post Office, and delayed several
DAYS. The information has already been communi-
Gated 10 the public. The authenticity Of the follow

LONDON, Nov. 9th, 1919.
DEAR Sir:
1.-The disintsrested interest your paper has taken
IN the cause Of Texas, induces nae TO communicate

recognition by England will give consequence and
credit to the country, and make it known; and en-

The only obstacle opposition to this negotiation
is what we have already mentioned-ths hostility
