George Clinton informs Robert, Jr. of his brother's military actions, and states that the British set a fire in New York, which has caused only a small amount of damage. He explains that there is a great deal of tension between British soldiers and the Hessians over access to lodging and plunder, and also notes the need for further military regiments in New York.
