] GEORGE WASHINGTON. 77 British were well supplied with ; but he proposed to his officers an attack on the town, the troops to be carried over in boats. In a letter written at this time, he says : " Unless the ministerial * troops in Boston are waiting for reinforcements, I cannot de- vise what they are staying there for ; nor why, as they affect to despise the Americans, they do not come forth, and put an end to the contest at once. " There were no less than four English generals in Boston. Ge...n. Gage, the chief, who had been Governor of Massachusetts, but who was recalled the next month ; Gen. Howe, a very popular com- mander ; Sir Henry Clinton ; and Gen. Burgoyne, who had distinguished himself in Portugal. The officers amused themselves as well as they could in the little besieged city ; but, for want of fresh pro- visions, the distress was beginning to be great. The officers of the Continental army were all of opinion that an attack on Boston at that time (September) was unwise ; and the Commander-in-chief gave up the idea, though inaction was exceedingly disa- greeable to him.
