Texas and United States face treaty duties amid Texas war stance
The letter argues that while Texas remains at war Texas relations with Mexico under a treaty of amity and commerce must guide US policy. It rejects Gen Hunt's overture as injurious to the US Texas must retain liberal commercial relations, even if temporary losses occur, to ensure lasting prosperity and treaty integrity.
