David Narrett would like to correct an omission in the acknowledg-
ments of his essay, "A Choice of Destiny: Immigration Policy, Slavery,
and the Annexation of Texas," which appeared in the January 1997 is-
sue of the Quarterly. In thanking many of his colleagues, he inadvertently
neglected to mention Sam W. Haynes, who has shared valuable ideas
with him about Texas history over the last four years. Dr. Haynes's essay,
"Anglophobia and the Quest for National Security," will appear in vol-
ume thirty-one of the Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Essays published
by Texas A&M University Press in the Fall 1997. This volume, entitled
Manifest Destiny and Empire: American Antebellum Expansion, is coedited by
Haynes and Christopher Morris of the University of Texas at Arlington.April
