To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sin- cere and straightforward Cameron — as a secretary and in his public capacity — abhorred the habits of petty intrigue and dissimulation* The caudid governor of New York^ who meant what he saidj in personal or ofBcial correspondence, loses no time. In reference to njy letter to Governor Seward [the honorable and the secretary now becomes governor], I beg to say that in communicating: with him nothing was further from my thoughts than an interference with your prerogatives or a dis- regar...d of your just authority. His personal knowledge of affairs in this State and hi^ lively interest in all that relates to it induoed me in thia» ae oa several previous occaaiona, to invite his solicitation in obtaining from the President or your- self suiih authority as seemed to me to be important in carrying out the purposes of the government. I fully appreciate the dlf^ fioulties experienced by the government in obtaining suitable arms. . , . I do not desire, however, to put this in a form of complaint, but to urge it aa a fact^ and to ask that it have your favorable consideration when opportunity will permit.* " Influence" was not easily strangled and destroyed.
