{"value"=>"No violation of the treaty having taken place on his part, Gen. Burgoyne's requisition of even date is inadmissible; it now remains with Gen. Burgoyne to ratify or dissolve the treaty at once. A note by J. Wilkinson states that Burgoyne requested time to lay the above message before his council; the treaty was signed that evening, and the troops surrendered their arms on the morning of the 17th. Contemporary transcript. Endorsed."}
