all render this annexation desirable above all things, independent of any
considerations of policy and interest. ...
5th. That this meeting reposes full confidence in the integrity, fidelity
and rapacity [sic] of the President to subserve the great interest of the
nation to bring about the result so ardently desired by the whole people,
they cannot believe that his excelency Anson Jones will fail to give strict
support to the favorite measure of his constituents, and look upon the
intimations to the contrary thrown out by the press both at home and
abroad, as unwarrantable by any conduct of the President. This meeting
does not wish to trammell or forestall the action of our Chief Magistrate
on this subject, but to leave to his own judgment and sense of responsi-
bility the course he will pursue in the present crisis, but in order to put
a stop to further misrepresentations of his opinions, to silence slander
and quiet honest doubt, this meeting respectfully recommends and advises
his Excellency the President to make upon the subject of annexation an
avowed declaration of his sentiments. ...
10th. That we recommend to our fellow citizens throughout the Republic
in various counties to hold similar meetings.
The Reverend Anton J. Frank, 1618 Texas Avenue, Houston,
has thoughtfully sent to the Association a copy of an article,
"The Allegany Friars in Texas," which covers a period of
Catholic Church history in Houston during the War between
the States. This article, compiled by the Reverend Adalbert
Calahan, 135 West 31st Street, New York, New York, is taken
from Vol. V, No. 6, The Provincial Annals, April, 1946, and
has been placed in the archives.
A file of the Tokyo Nippon Times, printed in English, has
been sent to the Association by one of our members, Judge
Ralph Yarborough of Austin, who was with the Army of Occu-
pation. The papers, which were issued daily, cover the period
from November 1, 1945, to November 26, 1945. They have been
placed in the library of the University of Texas.
The American Philosophical Society has made a grant of
$500 to Dr. Gene Hollon, of the Department of History of the
University of Oklahoma, for the completion of a study on
Zebulon M. Pike. Hollon spent the month of May in research
in Washington, D. C.
