Colonel .John Glover, in the letter from which we have learned so much of this Campaign, and who was with General Lee, stated, evidently erroneously, that the column did not reach the White Plains until ten o'clock on Monday morning, the twenty eighth of October, after having marched during the whole of the preceding night, (Colonel Glover^s h t- <er,dated " MiLE-SyUARE, October 22, 1776," published in The Freeman's Journaland yeW'Hampshire Gazette, Volume I., Number 27, Portsmouth, Tuesday, November 26, 1776 ;) but the Lrttir from a Gentleman in the Army, dated "Camp near the Mills, abiht three miles North of "the White Plains, November 1, 1776," reprinted in Force's American Archives, V., iii., 471-474, stated that "General Lee reached the Plains, "and uutrched out, westward, between the main body of the Army and "the river," [that is, he occupied the right of the line, between General Sullivan's command and the l}ron.c-river.] " This was on the 25th and " 2Gth of October," the author of the letter added. The official Plan of the Countrt/ from Frog's Point to Croton i^iferand Sauthier's Plan of the Operafiom, etc., each stated that the columu was not in motion after the twenty-seventh of October.

There is abundant evidence, within Colonel Glover's own letter, that he was in error, two days, in this particular statement.
