Note 1191 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Clinton, Observations on Cornwallis, App. p. 61; Parliamentary Register, xxv. 143; and Germain Corresp., 75, 79. Arnold's report to Clinton of May 12th—Phillips, who died on the 13th, being too ill to write—is really a diary of events since the 18th of the preceding April, the day on which Phillips began the ascent of the James. It is in Remembrancer, xii. 60; Political Mag., ii. 390; and Hist. Mag., iii. 294. Extracts are given by Ramsay, Tarleton (p. 334), and others. The report (May 16) is given in full in Arnold's Arnold, p. 344. Jones in his New York during the Revolutionary War (ii. 463) says that Clinton, distrusting Arnold, gave dormant commissions to Dundas and Simcoe. The commissions were never used; but Simcoe in his Military Journal (ed. of 1787, pp. 108-146; ed. of 1844, pp. 158-208) gave a narrative of the whole movement, in which he figured himself as the principal personage. See also Memoir of General Graham, pp. 33-37; Beatson's Memoirs, v. 211-225; and Eelking, Hülfstruppen, ii. 105.
