In this building was the legation for the ministers from the Republic of Texas to the Court of St James, 1842–1845.
I was referring to the line in the 2023 piece:
"...and discuss politics at one of the gentlemen’s clubs located on St. James’s and Pell Mell—the streets intersecting the palace."
I thought perhaps clippy was still waging his spell check revenge.
I think that it is Pall Mall street. Pell-mell means something else

When I was there it was St. James. I believe Pall Mall is a street off of St. James, connecting it to Trafalgar Square, as the link you provided says.
I wonder if she knew about the legations in London and Paris. I can’t imagine she wouldn’t have, but many a true Texan doesn’t know this little bit of history, much less been there.
Gommie would have loved this!
