"It comes to me from the best source, that an entire confidence is now realized in the Cabinet, I know it is felt by Mr Calhoun and other Senators, who have had free access to the movement that the difficulty will be adjusted immediately and amicably. By noting the date of this letter you will be able to discover, when the official correspondence is divulged, how near your information was to truth and to time.
As I stated on a former occasion, I reiterate in the plainest and most positive language now, Mr Pakenham has no instructions from his Government, authorizing him to make any new proposition. This statement will not be gainsayed, under any authority from the British Minister, who ought to know something of his own affairs. It is extremely unfortunate that the President's original offer of the 49th parallel, was not sent to England - if it had been, the whole question would have been settled by the opening of Congress."
