Philadelphia: Mifflin and Parr, 1844. 32pp. Self-wrappers. Institutional stamp on title page. Text is clean and bright. Very good. Third edition, reprinted the same year as the previous two. This letter, published originally in the Washington GLOBE of Feb. 3, 1844, is credited by Streeter with being the start of the debate on the annexation of Texas.
