I was not at the battle of White Plains, but joined the Regiment a few days after that engagement. I was at the capture of Fort Washington when we were near Harlem all ready in case we should be called upon for service. I was also at the reduction of Fort Montgomery. Dr. [margin: (?)] Major Popham, my intimate friend, was a little my senior in age. I hope you will call upon me again."

Oct. 23rd Mrs. Stevenson: "I am 88 years of age and never saw my father. Both my parents died in my infancy. My maiden name was Macdonald. I went in childhood to a school at which Robert Burns the poet was a pupil. Doctor John B. Stevenson has not been home since early morning. Dr. Witherspoon of Princeton had several sons and your lady is a daughter of one of them," &c."
