To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By a special agree- ment with the treasury, one Sanborn undertook to recover certain wrongfully withheld taxes for fifty per cent, of what he should get. Through the care- lessness or criminal collusion of treasury officials he received authorization to collect, subject to his claim for one-half, several millions of dollars which would normally all come into the treasury through the regular collectors.

He was translated by Grant, though not without strong opposition in * House Reports, 43 Cong., i Sess., No. 559; cf. Nation, March 12, 1874; Hoar, Autobiography, I., chap, xxiii.
