Full Description:
Clinton. Headquarters, New York. Proclamation. 'Having reason to believe that there are many persons residing among the rebels, as also numbers serving in the rebel army and militia who are withheld from joining their countrymen and friends, that they must not only enlist for life but perhaps not be alowed to make choice of the provincial regiment to which particular connections may naturally incline them'. Therefore thinks it proper to give notice that all persons who shall engage to serve, shall received on their enlistment the sum of six guineas, and at the time of their discharge they shall be entitled to a grant of land.
