Note 733 — Chapter IV · (continued 2)

A letter of Glover about the march, dated Cambridge, Jan. 27, 1778, is in the Sparks MSS. (lii. vol. iii.). The line of their march is shown in Anburey's Travels. Mrs. Hannah Winthrop's letter, Nov. 11, 1777, describing the entry of Burgoyne's army into Cambridge, is cited in Mrs. Ellet's Women of the Revolution, i. 96. A journal of the Northern campaign of 1777 (Oct. 6th to Nov. 9th), at which last date the writer "attended Mr. Burgoyne to Boston", is among the Langdon Papers, copied in the Sparks MSS. (lii. vol. ii.). The commander of the Eastern department at this time was Gen. Heath (Heath's Memoirs, p. 134; Hist. Mag., iii. 170; Mem. Hist. Boston, iii. 183). Letters of Burgoyne to Heath are in the Mag. of Amer. Hist., 1885, p. 482, etc. A letter of Burgoyne (copy) to the president of Congress, dated at Cambridge, Feb. 11, 1778, is in Letters and Papers, 1777-1780 (MSS. in Mass. Hist. Soc.). Burgoyne preferred charges against Capt. David Henley, an officer of the guard, for cruel behavior towards the prisoners. He was tried and acquitted. An Account of the Proceedings of a Court Martial held at Cambridge by order of Maj. General Heath for the trial of Col. David Henley, taken in short hand by an officer who was present, was published in London, 1778. The trial lasted from Jan. 20 to Feb. 25, 1778. The proceedings were also printed in Boston (Brinley Catal., nos. 4,024-25). The trial is epitomized in P. W. Chandler's Amer. Criminal Trials (ii. 59). There are jottings about the influence of the prisoners in Boston at the time in Ezekiel Price's diary in the N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., October, 1865. The orders of Burgoyne issued in Cambridge are given in Hadden's Journal. Gen. Phillips commanded the convention troops after Burgoyne's departure. There are letters of Phillips in the Mag. of Amer. Hist., July, 1885, p. 91. The parole which the English and German officers signed, to keep within certain limits of territory, is in the Boston Public Library (Lossing's Field-Book, ii. 878, and Burgoyne's Orderly-Book). There are details of their life in Cambridge in Schlözer's Briefwechsel (iv. 341); the memoirs of Riedesel and Madame Riedesel; and in Eelking's Hülfstruppen. Cf. Lossing's Field-Book; Drake's Landmarks of Middlesex; and Mrs. Ellet's Domestic Hist. of the Amer. Rev. (N. Y., 1850), p. 85. A MS. copy of Nathan Bowen's Book of General Orders is in the Boston Public Library.—Ed.
