[991] By Clinton and Capt. Sutherland of the "Vulture", dated Oct. 4th and 5th. They are in the Sparks MSS., vol. lviii. Cf. Sargent, p. 385.
[992] One of these is preserved in the Trumbull gallery at New Haven. It represents André himself sitting in a chair at a table on which is an inkstand and pen. It has been engraved in fac-simile in Sparks's Arnold, 280; in Lossing's Field-Book, ii. 203; in George C. Hill's Arnold, etc. Another is a sketch of the landing by boat from the "Vulture", showing André rowed ashore. An aquatint engraving from it was published in New York in 1780, of which there is a reproduction in Harper's Mag., lii. p. 835, and Lossing's Two Spies. Cf. Mag. of Amer. Hist., vol. xiii. (Feb., 1885), p. 173, for a paper by L. Wilson on André's landing-place at Haverstraw.
[993] An engraving of the scene is given in Barnard's History of England (p. 694), which is reproduced in H. W. Smith's Andreana.
[994] The amount of the removal by James Buchanan, who effected it, is in the United Service Journal, Nov., 1833. Cf. for other details W. Sargent's André; Stanley's Westminster Abbey; Penna. Hist. Soc. Mem., vi. 373; N. Y. Evangelist, Jan. 10 and Feb. 27, 1879; Mag. of Amer. Hist., iii. 319; L. M. Sargent's Dealings with the Dead, i. 58.
[995] This monument has been often represented in engravings (for the first time in The Universal Mag., 1782; cf. Lossing's Field-Book; Cyclo. U. S. Hist., i. 46; Two Spies; and guide-books to the Abbey). Germain informed Clinton, Nov. 28, 1780, that a pension had been bestowed on André's mother, and the offer of knighthood made to his brother, "in order to wipe away all stain from the family."
Col. John Trumbull, who had been Washington's aide, was arrested in London with threats of retaliatory treatment; but he was released at the intercession of Benjamin West, the painter. Trumbull tells the story in his Autobiography. Cf. Walpole's Last Journal, ii. 434, 436.
[996] View of it in Lossing's Two Spies, 109; his Field-Book, ii. 204. It was placed there in 1847.
[997] View and account in Lossing's Two Spies, 110.
[998] The amount received was £6,315 (Sargent's André, 450). He issued an address of exculpation to the inhabitants of America, dated New York, Oct. 7, 1780, which is printed by Isaac N. Arnold (p. 330) from the original MS. in a text varying slightly from other printed copies, as in the Political Mag., i. 734. A fortnight later (Oct. 20th) he issued a proclamation to induce defection among the officers and soldiers of the army, the original draft of which is among the Force Papers in the library of Congress. It is printed in I. N. Arnold, p. 332; in Polit. Mag., i. 766, etc.
Sargent thinks that a vindication of Arnold which appeared in Remarks on the Travels of M. de Chastellux, London, 1787, was instigated by Arnold himself.
