[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] Headquarters, Robinson House, September 22, 1780. Permit Mr. John Anderson to pass the guards to White Plains or below, if he chooses, he being' on public business by my direction. B. Arnold, Maj. Gen. Andre passed a lonely day, and as evening approached he became impatient and spoke to Smith about departure. Smith refused to take him on board the kt Vulture," much to Andre's surprise and mor-tification, but offered to cross the river with him to Verplanck's Point and accompany him part of the distance to New York on horse-back. On Friday, September 22, at dusk, Andre, Smith, and a negro ser-vant, with three horses belonging to Smith, crossed the King's Ferry from Stony Point in a flat-bottomed boat rowed by Cornelius Lam-bert, Lambert Lambert, and William Van Wart, Henry Lambert act-ing as coxswain. Upon landing at Verplanck's, Smith called the cox-swain into Welsh's hut near the ferry landing and gave him an eight dollar continental bill, and then went to Colonel Livingston's tent. a short distance from the road, and talked with him a few minutes, but declined his invitation to take some liquor, and said that he was going to General Arnold's headquarters. They mounted their horses, rode over the obi King's Ferry Road to the New York and Albany Post Road, and from thence north to Peekskill, where they took the road leading easterly from Peekskill to Crompond Corners.
