Schuyler writes that he is outraged by the scandalous conduct of their soldiers in Canada, which may result in their loss of that territory. He also expresses frustration with Congress, which has ignored his calls to address this issue. With enclosed letter from Robert Livingston (1746-1813) to [Philip] Schuyler, dated 11 June 1776, Clermont, [N.Y.] Robert states his frustration with Congress for neglecting their duty to supervise the troops, and discusses a plan to storm Quebec.
