Overview

Excerpt from Papers Relating to the Treaty of Washington, Vol. 6: Washington Arbitration and General Appendix Sir: In submitting the accompanying report of the proceedings and results of the mixed commission under the twelfth article of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain of May 8, 1871, I beg to express my profound sense of obligation to yourself for the uniform kindness and consideration I have experienced from you during the whole existence of the commission. The two years and more of my connection with the commission were years of severe and unremitting labor. The nearly five hundred claims presented to and passed on by the commission involved an immense range of investigation, proofs, and arguments. The transactions out of which they grew extended through four years of time, and involved not only inquiries into the whole history of the late war in its operations on land, but also a large extent of maritime operations, warlike and com mercial, and extensive inquiries into the transactions between the late so-called Confederate States and subjects of the neutral nations of Europe.
