United States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783; Jay, John, 1745-1829
Summary
Divisions begin to appear in New York, and many in Dutchess county are
loyal to the King. Tenants on the Livingston lands are restless, some have joined the
Tory counter-Association, and his father is attempting to quiet them by peaceful means.
Urges Jay to return to New York to watch affairs there and also the expedition to
Canada. A minister with Tory leanings is having considerable success making Tories out
of the Dutch.
