Letter from Colonel Wynkoop to General Gates

v2:1088

COLONEL WYNKOOP TO GENERAL GATES.

Skeenesborough, October 16, 1776.

DEAR GENERAL: I thought proper to inform you that Mr˙ Langdon, Major Skeene' s clerk at this place, is an enemy to his country, and he is busy every day viewing and prying into every circumstance. I am under apprehension that he takes every method in his power to inform the Regulars of our situation.

The General can use his pleasure in the matter, but I think he ought not to be here.

I am, dear General, your most obedient,

CORN˙ WYNKOOP.

To General Gates.
