the catalog I mentioned earlier. Nothing numismatic popped out, but I haven=

sts in PA and surrounding area that they won't be molested, and offering fo=
rgiveness to any rebels who return to the fold. There are excerpts from let=
ters reporting on British action which make good reading. Burgoyne reports =
