John C. Calhoun, State Department, to A.J. Donelson, August 23, 1844
"I have read the letter of General Jackson to President Houston enclosed in your's with deep interest."
"Should Mr. Clay be elected, the door would probably be closed against the admission of Texas, and, if closed, she would be almost forced to seek the alliance of Great Britain, however disastrous it might prove in the end to her, to the United States, and I might add, to this Continent."
