[Letter to Major Gen. Gates] September 6, 1777. Sir, I
received your letter of the second instant, and in
consequence of your compliance with my proposal of sending a
surgeon to visit the wounded officers in your hands, and
some servants to carry money and necessaries to their
masters, and to remain with them, I have now to desire the
favour of you to dispatch the officer you design with a drum
and a flag of truce, so that he may arrive at Stillwater
about noon, on the ninth, and he shall be met there by the
persons he is to conduct, accompanied also by a drum and a
flag of truce. . . [80 more lines, signed] I am, sir, your
most humble servant, J. Burgoyne. L.G.
