To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The case of certain Bengal officers was referred to, and Lee's was still stronger. Being only on half-pay when he wrote his letter of resignation to Lord Barring- ton, he would undoubtedly plead : first, that a half- pay officer was not amenable to military law, and secondly, if he was, he had a right to resign. The reply of Lord George Germaine was — ''As you have difficulties about bringing General Lee to trial in America, it is His Majesty's pleasure that you send him to Great Britain by the... first ship of war. " One of the London newspapers of the time states, that he was actually " placed on board a vessel at New York three several times in order to be brought to England ; and the ship was absolutely on sail when Washington's letter to General Howe arrived at New York, the consequence of which was that the ship was stopped and the General re- landed. " Sir William Howe being unable to make any impression upon Washington, and being apprehen- sive that a close confinement of the Hessian officers would be the consequence of sending Lee to Great Britain, and that this would occasion much discon- tent among the foreign troops, retained Lee for further instructions.
