WASHINGTON, Texas, Jan. 2, 1914.
To the members IF Congress, in the United States
t0ho 1e friendly TO Teras:
The undersigned, members of the Congress of
OF the Republic of Texas, have learned with great
concern and regret that most erroneous impress
sion, has obtained, and prevails generally among
the members of Congress and people of the Uni.
ted States in regard to the feelings and opinions of
the people of this Republic upon the subject of
the political annexation of Texas to the United
States, and experimenting that this impression, if
not contradicted, may possibly have mnch of influ-
ence in modifying, or preventing altogether, any
action of your present Congress on this subject,
the undersigned deem it not improper to assure
you, as they hereby do, and authorize you to make
the declaraton that at least nine-tenths of their
constituents, and, as they believe, of the entire
people Of Texas, would most cheerfully be willing
that our government should embrace any overtures
from the government of the United States, having
for their object the political annexation of Texas
on footing in all respects equal with the other
States of the Union.

herewith send you copy of letter address
ed to COL Thomas H. Benton. 1t is signed by all
the members of both houses present, with the
single exception of one. 1t has been deemed a
more advisable method at present, than to pass a
joint resolution of both houses on the subject
The facts stated in the letter, you may depend
upon it are substantially true.
