"COPIE de la Lettre écrite par Jean Baptiste LACOSTE, Représentant du Peuple près les Armées du RHIN et de la MOSELLE, aux Citoyens GOBERT, RODOLPHE et POIRET, Agents de la République.". MORTEFONTAINE headquarters, near LONGWY (54), 21st Floréal Year 2 (10th May 1794) - "Virtue is the order of the day throughout the Republic. The Guillotine purges it of all its impurities. Victory is permanent in the South as in the North. The last hour of the Tyrants rings. A frightened Italy sees the Austrians slaughtered; the Piedmontese taken captive, a tyrant on the run and a throne crumbling from Bayonne to Perpignan; the slaves of the tyrant of Castile are prisoners, fugitives or dead... On the 10th, the Armée du Nord won a complete victory... Ménin has been taken by force, vive la République! (LACOSTE is a Conventionnel du CANTAL, on a mission).
