THE TOWN OF GREENBURGH. 315 



" The virulence and malice of Arnold's treachery are no where more 

 manifest and detestable than in the following document. See how the 

 arch fiend exposes the weakness of the forts — the ease with which they 

 could be set on fire — the facilities of approach — the commanding 

 heights and rising grounds, &c. The whole, too, an expose intended ex- 

 pressly for the British ; and yet endorsed as if it had been a memoran- 

 dum for his own private use, and for General Washington :
