10 The following, in addition to what hiis been already stated concerning the disaffection in the Continental .\rmy, presents the subject, very clearly. The Militia of Westchester-county contiiined, of course, all who were frierds of the Convention and who lived within the County ; but the number of efficient men in the entire Brigade did not exceed the strength of a single Regiment and these were so generally "disaffected," either with the service or with the General commanding them, or with both, that the latter regiirded his own life as in danger, among them ; and, therefore, when he was oniered to take the command of his Brigade, personally, in Kew York, he preferred to remain in Philadelphia, where he would be less exposed : "The situation of my Brigade I was con- "vinced was well known to the Convention," were his words.
