Colonel Harrison's letter to William Duer, "Cam,p on Valentin e's-H ills, October 21, 1776 "-- " Since his " Excellency's letter of yesterday, nothing of importance has ti>nBpired, "unless the marching of the enemy, to-day, from Eastchester towards " New Rochelle, in considered in that .light "--General George Clinton's Information relating to the Enemy, dated "October. 21, 177.6," in, which the enemy was Baid to "now lay from where they first landed, extended, "about one mile East of New Rochelle;" and General Washington's despatch to the Continental Congress, dated '" Head-quarters, White- " Plains, 25 October, 1776," 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 Gloyer 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 other 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 body" remained on Pell's-neck, until the twenty-first, ad stated, indirectly, by Hall and Stednian, confirmed by the testimony of General Washington. Bolton, in his History of Westchester-CGunty (original edition, i., 444 ; the same, secofld edition, i., 695,) informed hiB readers, that, "on the " eighteenth of October, 177G, Lord Howe, the British commander, took 'f post in the village" of New Rochelle; but it is very likely that "Lord " Howe," who was Admiral of the Meet, remained on board one of the vessels- of-war-- he, certainly, was not at New Rochelle, on the day of the debarkation of the Army, on Pell's-neck.
