Note 101 — Chapter III
Reading edition
General Clinton, quoting from Howe's returns on this date, says he had "24,464 effectives fit for duty; a total of 26,980, officers not included, who, when added, amount to 31,625 men." See General Carrington's Battles of the Revolution, p. 199. To the British force should be added two or three companies of New York loyalists.
