MEURTHE-ET-MOSELLLE. 1794. "COPY of the Letter written by Jean Baptiste LACOSTE, Representative of the People near the Armies of the RHIN and the MOSELLE, to the Citizens GOBERT, RODOLPHE and POIRET, Agents of the Republic. Headquarters of MORTEFONTAINE, near LONGWY (54), the 21 Floréal Year 2 (May 10, 1794) - "Virtue is the order of the day in all the Republic. The Guillotine purges it of all that it has of impure. Victory is permanent in the South as in the North. The last hour of the Tyrants sounds. Italy, frightened, sees the Austrians slaughtered; the Piedmontese captive, frightened, a tyrant in flight and a throne which collapses from Bayonne to Perpignan; the slaves of the tyrant of Castile are prisoners, fugitives or dead... The Army of the North won on the 10th, a complete Victory... Ménin was taken away by force, long live the Republic! (LACOSTE is Conventional of the CANTAL, in mission). Printed in METZ, at VERRONNAIS, Printer, Quai et Quartier Saint-Pierre. Cupboard (42 x 34) State A.
