Jean-Lambert TALLIEN (1767-1820) conventionnel (Seine-et-Ois - Lot 119
Jean-Lambert TALLIEN (1767-1820) conventionnel (Seine-et-Oise), Montagnard, one of the artisans of the Neuf-Thermidor. L.S., Tours April 14, 1793, to fellow citizens; 3 1/4 pages in-fol. Commissioner and deputy of the National Convention in the departments of Indre et Loire and Loir et Cher, he points out that his last circular letters contained two serious printing errors: "it would be very easy for malicious people to argue about false printed matter"; this must not happen again... He mentions the difficulties of recruitment: "The principal cause of the delay in the operations of the recruitment [...] comes from the troubles of the Vendée, the Deux-Sèvres and Mayenne and Loire, to the help of which all the citizens flew with the greatest eagerness"; but they took with them their clothes and their weapons, which prevents the requisition of it. However, he hopes to have "a rather considerable portion of our volunteers" leave in a few days... He had written a long time ago to the minister Beurnonville to ask for weapons, but nothing having arrived, he renewed his request yesterday to Bouchotte. It is necessary to obtain the requested authorization. "Goupilleau is at the head of the colonies of our brave volunteers and every day they obtain new advantages against the Rebels. Soon they will be annihilated... The non-sworn priests will be sent the next day to Bordeaux, and from there to Guyana; but he does not know what to do with the 300 nuns "locked up here [...] It is generally thought that those who refuse to take the oath will be deported"...
