Claude-Hilaire LAURENT (1741-1801) conventionnel (Bas-Rhin), - Lot 382
Claude-Hilaire LAURENT (1741-1801) conventionnel (Bas-Rhin), sent on a mission in the North where he displayed a great revolutionary ardor. L.A.S., Maubeuge 4 ventôse II (22 February 1794), to a citizen; 1 1/2 pages in-4. Curious letter on the expeditious way to bring in the contributions ordered by the law of 27 brumaire... "this day is the last judgment of the republic. You will thus make with Huber the new functions of angel examiner; to wake up the dead and the sleeping; to separate the citizens from the malicious ones; and when the separation will be made, it will be necessary to throw some of them in the darkness, from where they will pass to the revolutionary court. Some striking examples will accelerate the delays, and will electrify the numb administrations"... Then he claims "a sheet of white wine, and a piece of good red wine", by admitting that he took along some bottles of liquors.
