Colonel Harrison's letter to William Dner, "Camp on Valentine's Hills, October 21, 1776"-- "Since his "Excellency's letter of yesterday, nothing of importance has transpired, "unless the marching of the enemy, to-day, from Eastchester towards " New Rochelle, is considered in that light " -- General George I'lintcju's Information relating to the Enemg, dated "October 21, 1776,'' i'l which the enemy was said to "now lay from where they first landed, extended "about one mile Eiist of New Rochelle;" and General Washington's despatch to the Continenbil Congress, dated '• Head-qo.ikters, Wiuve- " Plains, 25 October, 1770," all clearly indicated that such a movement of the main body of the King's Army was not made on the eighteenth ; and nobody has pretended that Colonel Glover confronted the entire Royal Army and held it in check, during the whole of the day, as he must have done, had that Army moved from Pell's-neck, on that day. We prefer to believe, therefore, that, although the advance and, possibly, some otlier detachments of that Army may have moved and occupied the country between Hutchinson's river and New Rochelle, on the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth of October, " the main boriy " remained ou Pell's-neck, until the twenty first, as stated, indirectly, by Hall and Stedman, confirmed by the testimony of General Washington.

Bolton, in his Hint/irg of Westche»ter-covntg (original edition, i., 444 ; (?ie same, second edition, i., 69."),) informed his readers, that, " on the "eighteenth of October, 1770, Lord Howe, the British comiiiander, took " post in the village " of New Rochelle; but it is very likely that " Lord " Howe," who was .\dmiral of the Fleet, remained on board one of the vessels of-war -- he, certainly, was not at New Rochelle, on the day of the debarkation of the .\riiiy, on Pell's-neck.
