General Orders, Head-Quarters, Newburgh, April 18, 1783.
The Commander in Chief orders the cessation of hostilities .
. . [2 1/8 column report. Near center of 2nd column]
. . . being immortalized by the illustrious appellation of
the Patriot Army, nothing now remains but for the actors of
this mighty scene, but to preserve a perfect unvarying
consistency of character through the very last act, to close
the drama with applause, and to retire from the military
theatre with the same approbation of angels and men, which
have crowned all their former virtuous actions.
