LIEUTENANT SAYRE TO GENERAL HEATH.

Westchester, September 8, 1776.

SIR : There seems to be a movement of the enemy; there is a tender moved from the man-of-war to the brig, and has taken all the small crafts along the shore, and the officer of the party sent one of my sentries in order to go to Colonel Hand, and I thought it proper to give your Honour notice.

From your humble servant,

JAMES SAYRE, Lieutenant.
