Abstract:
Washington reiterates his message from his previous letter to Gage, dated 1775-08-11, in which he states that Gage's harsh treatment of American prisoners of war will necessitate similar treatment for captured British troops. Furthermore, he implores Gage not to allow his feelings concerning the events at Lexington, Concord, and Charleston to impact his treatment of prisoners.
