ral Burgoyne to march to
Massachusetts Bay by the easiest, most expeditious and convenient
route, and to be quartered in, near, or as convenient as possible
to, Boston, that the march of the troops may not be delayed when
transports arrive to receive them.

The troops to be supplied, on their march and during their being
in quarters, with provisions, by General Gates's orders, at the

possible, the officers' horses and cattle are to be supplied with
forage at the usual rates.

cattle, and no baggage to be molested or searched,
Lieutenant-General Burgoyne giving his honour that there are no
public stores secreted therein. Major-General Gates will, of

possible, to be supplied by the country at the usual rates.

purposes of regularity.

are to be supplied with provisions in the same manner as the
other troops, and are
