" I offered to prove, by the evidence of Col- onel Robinson and the officers of the Vulture, that Major Andre went on shore at General Arnold's desire, in a boat sent for him with a flag of truce ; that he not only came ashore with the knowledge and under the protection of the General who commanded in the district, but that he took no step while on shore but by direction of General Arnold, as will appear by the enclosed letter from him to your Excel- lency.
" Under these circumstances I could n...ot, and hoped you would not consider Major Andre as a sjDy, for any improper phrase in his letter to you.
"The facts he relates correspond with the evidence I offer ; but he admits a conclusion that does not follow. The change of clothes and name was ordered by General Arnold, un- der whose direction he necessarily was, while within his command. As General Greene and I did not agree in opinion, I wished that dis- interested gentlemen, of knowledge of the law of war and nations, might be asked their opin- ion on the subject ; and mentioned Monsieur Knyphausen and General Rochambault.
