PROC L AMATIO N.
WH E REA S there is good reason to believe,
that there are rtiany Deserters from the Con
tinental Army, who, from a conviction of
their errors, and from finding themselves deluded by
falfe promises, would willingly return to their colours,
were they not apprehensive of that punishment which
is justly due to their crimes: Therefore, from motives
of humanity,and in order to give all such a^ opportu
nity of returning to rhe service of tieir 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 delver
themselves up to any Continental Officer, on or before
the firft Day of June next.
But I think it necessary at the fame time to declare,
that all those who negled to embrace the terms now
offered, and are hereafter apprehended, may expert
the most exemplary Punishment
Given at Head-Quarters, in Philadelphia, this
eighth Day of February, 1782.
