A solemn Declaration of Independence has been made and adopted unanimously...Rumours are afloat that a negotiation is actually going on for a sale, cession or transfer of Texas to the United States..."[and:] April 16, 1836: Regarding the fall of the Alamo and the deaths of Crockett, Bowie, and Travis: "...published accounts give frightful details of the barbarities committed...[which]will no doubt produce a favourable influence in favour of the Texian cause."
