Philadelphia, September 27. Copy of a letter from General
Burgoyne, to Major-General 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 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. . .
