IL.780.029
23 Oct 1780:31 (3/124)
Philadelphia, Sept. 30. As the public curiosity and anxiety
must naturally be raised to a high pitch by the providential
detection of the perfidy and treachery of a late
distinguished general officer of the United States, we shall
endeavor to give our readers such particulars as have come
to our knowledge, . . . [3/4 column discussing Arnold and
Andre]
Col. Andre, under the mask of friendship and former
acquaintance at Meschianzas and balls, opens a
correspondence in August, 1779, with Mrs. Arnold, which has
doubtless been improved on his part to the dreadful and
horrid issue we have described, and which but for the over-
ruling care of a kind Providence, must have involved this
country and our allies in great distress, and perhaps utter
ruin.
