Lieutenant Governor Sherman thanks Senator Cullom for his kindness in promoting his appointment to the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission. Sherman did not support Cullom in hopes of such a favor in return, but rather because of his fitness to serve the state of Illinois. The state legislative session has just closed and Sherman has work to finish up before reporting to Washington. Sherman relays his understanding of proposed policy changes for the Commission and assures Cullom he is glad to follow the original policy.
