George Clinton - to - John McKesson Esq." - "Camp near White Plains, Octr. 31, 1776." "Dear Sir \ We are exactly in the same situation in wh [which] we were when I wrote you yesterday. The enemy seem still to be endeavouring to outflank us, espe: cially our right wing. - Our advanced guards, I hear, are a little South of Youngs' Tavern, on the road leading to White Plains. Where the main body is, I cannot say, as I am so closely confined to my post on the left of the whole, as not to have been a quarter of a mile West from this for 4 days past. Near 3000 of the enemy, yesterday & the evening before, filed off to the left & were seen advancing towards King Street, & the Purchase road, from which it appears, they intent to outflank our left as well as right wing. - We had reason to apprehend an attack last night, or by day:break this morning (as was said, what they were I know not)? - Our lines were manned all night in consequence of this, & a most horrid night it was to lie in cold trenches.
