The Female Spy, or Treason in the Camp - A Story of the Revolution #267234

Next behind the two personages thus de scribed, rode the two aids-de-camp of the General, also finely equipped, and wearing the uniforms assigned to the rank of major; and next behind these officers rode two black females, one of whom carried an infant in her arms while the rear-guard was composed of two black male servants in livery. Having brought the whole party to your notice, reader, it may be as well to say here of whom it was composed. The one first de scribed was major-general Benedict Arnold; the lady by his side was his wife; the aids-de camp were Majors Varick and Franks; the blacks were the household servants of the General, and the infant was his own child by his present wife.
