nominations. If Benton and his friends are

satisfied with Polk's nomination & it creates any

allarms with the Whigs they may pass the

resolutions & annex Texas to get clear of the

question. I received a few days since the

money you had sent me for which I

feel greatly obliged to you. It came in very

good time. Mr Miller received the $200

you sent him & left on the 29th instant

for Texas via North Alabama where he

wishes to spend a few weeks. Charles will

come on with me as it will be cheaper

to come the route I shall travel than

the one Mr Miller took. I hope to be

able to leave in a few weeks. Present

my kind regards to Mrs. Houston.

Yours very truly

Henderson

P.S. May 30th. We have just learned that G.M.

Dallas has been nominated by the Convention

at Baltimore for V.P. He is for immediate an-

nexation. The Treaty &c will be taken up in

a few days. I learn that Benton says he is well

pleased with the nominations. The democrats are

all in the best spirits. We have not heard

from Texas for some time.
