To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That Grant thought Sumner's memorandum intrinsically wrong or un- wise does not appear. Nowhere, it may be af- firmed, does it appear, from Mr. Adams or else- where, that the memorandum of January 17, 1871, was really anything more than a politic, reasonable, diplomatic insistence, at the stage of the negotia- tions then reached and under the then existing cir- cumstances, on a policy maturely adopted and long pursued both by Sumner and by the Administration. Still less does it appear that Gran...t and Fish, in fact, did look upon the memorandum, or would have had reason for looking upon it, as unexpected, or obstructive, or embarrassing. If the conditions set forth in the second paragraph of the memoran- dum should prove dangerous or obstructive, it might be at once modified or withdrawn ; and who can reasonably say that Sumner would not have readily withdrawn his insistence or opposition whenever the point of danger had been reached ? So far, then, as Grant and Fish are concerned, up to this point it comes to just this, — that Grant i saw in Sumner's memorandum nothins; but a strategic advantage which he could use to " get 1 Adams, Be/ore and After, etc, 119.
