Letter from General Custine denouncing Kellermann
A Sunday broadside presents Custine's denunciation of Kellermann as unworthy to command and exposes his accusations about failed campaigns. It includes excerpts from Custine’s letters, a Frankfurt proclamation on contributing to the poor, and notes on political debates in the Convention about Nice, the Army, and provincial departs. The piece links Custine’s charges to broader fears of liberty and military strategy amid Revolutionary turmoil.
