In view of these great outrages, and of many others of which no records have been preserved, the Committee of Safety for the State addressed a letter to the President of the Continental Congress, in which are these concluding words : " I have the satisfaction " to assure you that the fortitude of this State and " their zeal for the glorious cause in which we are " engaged, is not abated ; on the contrary, we are " prepared to meet even severer misfortunes, with a " spirit and firmness becoming the generous advonieeting-placo of Lewis Morris and his friends ; to liave been liept by Isaac Uttkley ; and to Imve stood until about 1808, when it was burned.

Unless tliere were two Taverns, in the White Plains, with Oakleys for their Landlcjrds, in 1775 and 1771! ; or, unless Miles had succeeded Isaac, as the Lamllord of the one Tavern which was " Oakley's "Tavern," between April, 1775, and Xoveniber, 1770, we were probably in error, in ouv former statement, concerning the imine of the Oakley who was the Landlord of that Tavern which was, there, mentioned: and if only one "Oakley's Tavern" was in existence, in the White Plains, at that time, it was among the buildings which were burned by Major Austin, on the filth of November, 1776, (i i'de pages 452, 453, ante ;) and, therefore, was not standing until 1868, as stated on page 244.

We have not been able to ascertain the facts ; and so leave the matter iu doubt.
