But he wrote later in much apprecia- tion of the consideration shown him and his men by the allied troops. "The treatment, in general, that we have received from the enemy GEORGE WASHINGTON 109 since our surrender has been perfectly good and proper." Cornwallis was not only spared the mortifi- cation of handmg over his sword in person ; he and his staff were entertained at dinner by Washington. At this meal, so the story goes, Rochambeau, being asked for a toast, gave "The United States." Washi...ngton gave "The King of France." Lord Cornwallis simply pledged "The King." But Washington, an- swering this toast, quickly added, "of Eng- land." Then said smilinglj^ "Confine him there, and I'll drink him a full bumper!" Cornwallis never forgot Washington's court- esy, and some years later when governor-gen- eral of India he sent a message to his old foe wishing "General Washington a long enjoy- ment of tranquillity and happiness," and add- ing that he himself "continued in troubled waters." Meanwhile, the rejoicings begun in the American camp had continued throughout the Union.
