Letter, 1776 November 15.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122487941

Letter to his brother Cyrus Keith discussing his philosophy of attracting women. Keith urges his brother to respect the innocent nature of women and to make sure he does not harm the ladies through a callous act. He illustrates his point with a story about a certain Major Austin who, after the battle of White Plains went into the village of White Plains and began to burn the courthouse and several homes. One home in particular housed an elderly woman, a young girl and a cat. The major burned the house despite the pleas of the ladies. Written at Peekskill, N.Y.
