Colonel John Glover, in the letter from which we have learned bo 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 letter.dated " Mile-Square, October 22, 1776," publishedin The Freeman's Jeurnaland New-Bampshire Gazette, Volume I., Number 27, Portsmouth, Tuesday, November 26, 1776 ;) but the Letter from a Gentleman in the Army, dated " Camp near the Mills, about three miles North of " the White-Plains, November 1, 1776," reprinted in Force's American Archives, V., Hi., 471-474, stated that " General Lee reached the Plains, " and marched out, westward, between the main body of the Army and "the river," [Uiat is, he occupied the right of the line,between Generul Sullivan's command and the Bronx-river.'] " This was on the 25th and " 26th of October," the author of the letter added. The official Plan of the Country from Frog's Point to Croton River and Sauthier's Planof the Operations, etc., each stated that the column 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.
