What reading level is Recollections of Mexico book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If I have not been misin- formed, one of these claims, and a large one, was sold for six cents on the dollar, and many others at the same rate.
I wrote to some of the claimants in all our large cities, ad- vising them not to sacrifice' their claims, and I also said the same thing to the Secretary of State, and requested him to make it public, which I believe he did.
By the new convention which I negotiated, there was saved to the persons interested, from eighteen to twenty per cent — ^the expor...t and transportation duties, eleven per cent freight and insurance to Vera Cruz, at least five per cent, in that country of highway robbers and revolutions, and two and a half per cent for the commissions of the agent who received the money. All of these things were altogether just, but they had not been provided for in the former con- vention — and that which I negotiated was wholly on my own responsibility. I thought that it was no more than fiiir that the government of Mexico should pay the com- missions of the agent, because if the whole amount of twa millions had been paid at once, any one would have re- ceived and remitted it for one third of the commissions which would have been charged when there were twenty different instalments running through a period of five years.
