The McDonald Papers, Part I, Chapter 1: Before the Battle of White Plains
After reconnoitering the fortress, Madam Orser, and her followers resolved themselves into a council of war, and the result of their deliberation was, that the garrison would probably make a desperate defense, that although the courage of the be-siegers remained unshaken, and their ability to capture the place by a storm, was undoubted; yet that they were unwill-ing at present, to resort to bloody extremities, and concluded therefore, to accept the proposition made by Dame Arthur. The bold dragoons thereupon raised the siege and retired.
