Étienne CHAILLON (1736-1796) conventioneer (lower Loire). L.A.S. Paris October 10, 1792, to Citizen administrators; 3 pages in-4. Beautiful letter on the political and military situation... "The affairs of the republic are still in the best state. Inside, the national convention continues to show itself with energy and dignity. The committees are formed, and little by little the factions are destroyed. Outside, our successes are always as fast, as brilliant. Everywhere our armies are victorious; everywhere the emigrants are in horror and the aristocrats in the box". Chaillon describes in detail the surrender without combat of the city of Worms to the "brave Custine", who is now heading towards Coblentz: "I do not think that it is with rose water that he purifies this den of our cy-devant". The army is approaching Mayence, "and it is not too much of a flattery to expect a deputation of hams from that country soon. The Prussian army always withdraws [...], continuously harassed by Dumouriez, Kellermann and Beurnonville, [...] it is reduced to thirty thousand, escorted by famine and plague", and will soon be forced to surrender. He reassures about the siege of Lille: "Be reassured about the fate of this city; it is populated with heroes and heroines, even children who rush to the bomb to pull out the fuse"...
