PROC L AMATIO N.
*< "%7"" '"' A ' there is good reason to believe,
that there are many Deserters from the Con
▼ ' tinental Army, whp, from a conviction of
their errors, and from finding themselves deluded by
fi|fe proroifes, would willingly return to their colours,
were they not apprehensive of that punishment which
is jufliy due to their crimes: Therefore, from motives
of humanity,and in order to give all such an opportu
nity of returning to the service of their country, I
have thought fit to issue this, my Proclamation, offering
free Pardon to all Deserters; as well those who may
have joined the enemy as others, who shall deliver
themselves up to any Continental Offices, on or before
the £rft Day of June next.
Rut f think it necessary at the fame time to declare,
that all those who neglect to embrace the terms now
offered, and are hereafter apprehended, may exp?&
the anoft exemplary Punishment.
Given at Head-Quarters, in Philadelphia, this
eighth Day of February, 1782.
