ANDRÉ, John (1750-1780). Autograph letter signed (\John André\) to Major Preston, New York, 16 July 1777. Four pages including integral address leaf, 224 x 182mm, bifolium (small loss from seal tear affects one word of text, hinged at spine to a larger sheet). Maneuvers against Washington in New Jersey, his promotion to aide-de-camp, and news of the fall of Ticonderoga. An unusually long and detailed letter from André, offering a \small sketch of our Adventures\ since being exchanged as a prisoner of war in December 1776. His regiment remained encamped on Staten Island until early June \when they took the field and marched with the rest of the Army into the Jerseys.\ Marching \from Amboy\ he proceeded \to Brunswick & thence to Hillsborough on the Millstone Creek, there we remained a few days viewing Mr Washingtons advanced posts on the top of the blue mountains, but he did not chuse to appear in the plains.\ Unable to draw Washington out of \his fastness,\ his regiment returned to Amboy where they prepared to return to Staten Island, when they heard: \that a Body of men under Lord Sterling was drawing near the Town watching our motions … Washington with the rest of the Army had come down from the Mountains … An attempt was made on our Side by a forced march to cut off Mr Washington from his favorite hills but he van of the Army having fallen in with Ld. Sterlings Corps the alarm was given and the Rebel Army gained the Mountains,\ but the British gained three \pieces of cannon & about a hundred prisoners and did a little mischief besides with bayonet and Sabre.\ From there, André marched back to Amboy and onto Staten Island, and by early July found himself aboard a transport, \laying off the narrows and we are in hourly Expectations to sail but know now whither.\ André also reports on the capture of 70-80 rebels on Sandy Hook, while General Prescott \has had the misfortune to fall again into the wretches hands, he was surprized by a party 20 men and taken in his Bed at a country house on Rhode island between Newport and the Camp.\ He passes \strong reports that Tichonderoga [illeg.] and certain Intelligence is arrived of its being invested, so that we scarcely doubt its being in Gen: Burgyone's Hands.\ He also hears of the capture of Fort Anne which held a powder magazine, and shares his \good fortune to be appointed Aid de Camp to Major Gen: Grey, to whom I am now attached.\ During the British occupation of Philadelphia later that year, André would find himself quartered at the home of Benjamin Franklin and may have played a part in the removal of several valuable items from the house on orders of Major General Charles Grey, best known today for his role in the Paoli Massacre. In 1906, Grey's descendants returned a portrait of Franklin that now hangs in the White House. , John André, 1777,

JOHN ANDRE - Current Bid: $1,500.00
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
JOHN ANDRE (1750 - 1780) British officer hanged as a spy during the American Revolution. In 1780 Andre had begun to plot with Gen. Benedict Arnold, likely at the suggestion of Arnold's loyalist wife, Peggy Shippen. Arnold, who commanded West Point, soon agreed to surrender the fort to the British for £20,000, a move that would enable the British to cut New England off from the rest of the rebellious colonies. On Sept. 20 and 21, 1780 Andre met with Arnold on the Hudson River and was handed plans on how best the fort might be attacked. Early on the 23rd, Andre was captured and, after a trial by Washington and other generals and a conviction, was hanged at Tappan, New York on Oct. 2, 1780. We offer an extremely rare original signed drawing, "Andre 1776" by him in the lower-right corner, 8" x 4 3/4" on laid paper. The drawing by Andre, a rather talented artist, depicts a crude farmhouse at left with a tree beside it, a two-rail fence blocking a road in foreground, and a smaller tree at right. On the verso of the drawing is penned the sterling provenance of this item: "This drawing is by Major John Andre Thos. P. Cope Phila. 1851" At a later time, apparently another party, perhaps Cope's spouse or child incorrectly added the words: "last drawing of" to Cope's initial provenance, also writing: "I hope you keep it and remember me always. This is the farm and the path...he spent his last days here". Thomas P. Cope (1768-1854) was a Quaker originally from Lancaster, a wealthy Philadelphia merchant and the son of farmer Caleb Cope. In 1774 Andre first came to America as lieutenant in the Royal English Fusiliers and in 1775 was taken prisoner at St. Johns, Canada. He was and sent to Lancaster where he was held on the farm of Caleb Cope, father of our Thomas P. Cope. The Copes developed a real affection for Andre, who gave art lessons to their eldest son, possibly our Thomas P. Cope! Cope very well could have kept the drawing as a souvenir of his friend and teacher, the British soldier, and later, spy.

ANDRÉ, John (1751-1780), Major, British Army, Deputy Adjutant General to General Sir Henry Clinton, executed as a spy. Autograph letter signed ("John André D. Adjt. Gen.") to Gregory Townsend, Esq., Commissary General of the British army in New York, Head Quarters, 19 February 1780. 1 full page, folio, integral address leaf in André's hand, with recipient's docket, inconsquential mend at seal hole, otherwise in exceptionally crisp original condition. Very boldly penned in André's striking copperplate hand. A WAR-DATE LETTER OF SPYMASTER JOHN ANDRÉ, SEVEN MONTHS BEFORE HIS CAPTURE AND EXECUTION A very attractive letter of the unfortunate Major André, penned a scant seven months before his capture and execution as a spy. "An officer of exceptional ability" (Boatner), André possessed both personal charm and organizational talents, and was appointed to the important post of Deputy Adjutant General to Sir Henry Clinton in October 1779, at the unusually young age of 28. The infamous secret correspondence with Benedict Arnold began in the summer of 1779, and André (under the code names "Lothario" and "John Anderson") proved active and adroit in his handling of the surreptitious negotiations, involving elaborate ciphers, invisible ink, furtive go-betweens, secret meetings and concealed papers. Here, though, the subject is rum (a commodity which the British Army considered essential). André writes: "Sir The commander in chief [Clinton] bids me inform you with respect to the Rum, that you are to make such an agreem't with the owner as you think, considering circumstances. Mr. Weir will approve. I have the honour to [be] with Reg'd, Sir, /Your most obedient & most hum. Serv't John André Adjt Gen. " LETTERS OF JOHN ANDRÉ ARE INCREASINGLY RARE: In late September, to finalize plans for the betrayal of the key American garrison at West Point , André, in red regimentals, was rowed ashore from a British warship anchored up the Hudson, for a face-to-face interview with Arnold. The conference with the traitor ended at dawn and it was deemed too dangerous to row André back to the British vessel. Sighted at anchor, the ship was shelled by an American battery and forced downriver, stranding André behind American lines. On September 23, 1780, Wearing civilian garb (having discarded his red coat), and calling himself "John Anderson," André was captured attempting to cross American picket lines into British-held parts of Westchester County, New York. His official pass, signed by Benedict Arnold, was ignored, and highly compromising documents--including information regarding the West Point fortifications--were retrieved from his boots. The plot was revealed and Arnold fled on horseback, leaving his wife and child behind. Within days, André was condemned to death by a court-martial whose members included Lafayette and von Steuben. On 20 October, in spite of Sir Henry Clinton's last-minute request for clemency, André was hung as a spy and buried at the foot of the gallows.
