Novr. 30th Mr. Nathaniel Baylies: "I don't think that David Hammond's account of Major André's route can be altogether relied on, he not being a man of much intelligence. I will enquire, however, of the most intelligent of those most intimate with Isaac Van Wart who never told me about André's route. Mr. Wm. Requa was very intimate with Van Wart and probably has heard from him the course of André's journey. I think he came all the way to Lee's store on the Bedford road. At least I have always heard so."
