Item Description: |
After General Burgoyne's surrender, he was allowed to return to England on parole. Thinking himself ill treated by the government, and having been elected Member of Parliament for Preston, he joined the opposition; whereupon an official order was sent to him, signifying that it was the King's pleasure that he should return to America and rejoin his captive army. He remonstrated, and was again ordered, and, in consequence, resigned all his civil and military employments. In this letter he gives and explanation of his conduct. (cf. Sabin). |
