Note 974 — Chapter V · (continued 2)

Johnson says (Mag. of Amer. Hist., viii. 731) that Varick's papers show that Arnold's letter to Anderson of Aug. 30th never reached André, though Sparks and Sargent print it as having been received. This is the letter which Sargent supposes may have been conveyed to André by Heron. This and Arnold's of Sept. 15th are the only ones of "Gustavus" preserved. Fac-similes of a part of one of these letters, with a portion of one of "Anderson's", are given in Sparks's Arnold; in Lossing's Field-Book, ii. 146; in the Cyclop. of U. S. Hist., ii. 1410, etc. Cf. Harper's Monthly, lii. 825. Fac-similes of Arnold's passes are in Lossing, ii. 155. These passes are printed in Dawson's Papers, 60; H. W. Smith's Andreana; McCoy's edition of the Proceedings, etc., and in other places.
