Philadelphia, October 4. . . [10 lines introduction, 105
lines describing and commenting on the treason of Benedict
Arnold]
The Romans thought far otherwise, or we should not have
heard of the Clelias, the Cornelias and Anias of antiquity:
and had we thought & acted like them we should have despised
and banished from social intercourse every character,
whether male or female, which could be so lost to virtue,
decency and humanity, as to revel with the murderers and
plunderers of their countrymen. Behold the consequence.
Col. Andrie, under mask of friendship and former
acquaintance at Meschianzas and balls, opens a
correspondence with Mrs. Arnold. . . [7 more lines
connecting this incident with his spying activities]
