?ROCLAMATIO N.
By his Excellency
GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esq ;
General and Commander in Chief of the Armies of the
United Staffs of America.
WHERE AS by my Proclamation, dated the tenth
day of last month, a pardon was offered to all dc
fetters from the army„ dispersed in different'parts of these
States, who should rejoin their refpe&ive corps by the firft
of May next; And whereas from the shortness of the terra
limited for its operation, th@ offer of grace therein contain
ed hath not had Sufficient time to circulate as extensively
as was necessary to answer fully the benevolent purpose for
which it was designed—it is therefore thought proper to
extend it to a further period ; and I do hereby extend it
accordingly to the firft day of July next.
