[1776, Aug.]
To the Inhabitants of Suffolk County :
His Excellency Gen. Howe having appointed me Com- manding officer for the eastern part of this Island, I do hereby strictly enjoin and order all persons whatsoever in your County of Suffolk, upon your peril, to use your utmost effort to preserve the peace of said county ; that all Committee-men and others acting under the authority of the Rebels, immediately do cease and remain at their respective homes, that every man in arms lay them down forthwith and surrender themselves on pain of being treated as rebels; and I hereby exhort all persons to be aiding and assisting His Majesty's Forces by furnishing them with whatever lays in their power. In particular that they bring in their cattle (except milch cows and calves) for their supply, and their wagons and horses for transporting their baggage, &c .- for all which they shall be fully paid, His Majesty having sent his army, not for the oppression but for the protection of the inhabitants :
But I must also signify that unless they show a dutiful submission in all respects and an immediate compliance with these orders respecting the cattle and wagons I shall be under the necessity of marching the forces under my command without delay into the county, and lay waste the property of the disobedient, as persons unworthy His Majesty's clemency.

The next day he ventured down to a public inn kept by "Mother Chid," (Chichester) at a place called "The Cedars," at the head of Huntington Bay, near where Titus Conklin now lives, intending to cross to Connec- ticut in a boat. Seeing a boat approach he took it for the one expected, but he was mistaken, as it came from a British vessel and was manned by British sailors. His true character was revealed by a Loyalist at the inn and he was taken prisoner, hastened to the City of New York, and hung as a spy .- C. R. S.]
