Joshua I. King, of Ridgefield: - Henry F. brother of Frederick J. Tallmadge, kept a list or roll of Sheldon's officers and men. My father kept a journal, and I will give you some extracts from it. When Andre was taken in charge by my father he instantly pressed for the journey to White Plains, and was shaved by his valet. After finishing his toilet, he invited Andre to follow his example. Andre pulled off his coat when his disguise fell down (it had been concealed) and the powder was visible. Andre perceiving that my father no- -ticed this said: "I see you think I am not what I seem to be." My father said: "Yes, I think so." Capt. Joseph Bulkley of Greenfield Hill, P.O. Fairfield, Conn. and Mr. J. Glover and Joseph Hyde of Greenfield.
