Baltimore, Nov 4. . . [27 lines of letter describing battle
at White Plains, dated Oct. 28] Extract of another letter,
dated in the evening of the above day.  The post being
detained by desire of the general, gives me an opportunity
(with a wooded pen on a drum head) to acquaint you, that the
part of our army which was engaged to-day was a brigade
commanded by general M'Dougall, composed of Webb's,
Ritzma's, Smallwood's, Hallett's, and Brook's regiments. . .
[12 lines describing battle.]
