What reading level is Report of a Commissary of Subsistence 1861 1865 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
167 offered a bribe to Major H. C. Symonds, C. S. , U. S. A. , it was ordered that all officers of the Subsistence Department were forbidden to have any dealings with said parties. Now, as a matter of fact, these parties had sold me an immense quantity of supplies of prime use by all the people of this country, had sold them at a much lower price than I had been able to get them from other parties, and had always filled their contracts with sin- gular integrity, and, I may remark, my dealings w...ith them had always been by letter, and I have never seen a member of the firm to my knowledge, even to this day. I hope if they or their children should ever read these lines this statement would afford some comfort, for I can assure them that I did not regard the proposition as venal, but only as an odd method of suggesting a payment for presumed kindness. That was a species of notoriety I did not covet, and I made no more confidences of that nature, but have often reflected that if the virtuous author of the order had taken some of his own medicine, he would have con- tributed less to the present wealth of some parties who are now thanking God they are not as other men are.
