Private Letter on National Convention Feud in France
An extracted private letter analyzes the rift between the two factions ruling the Convention, naming Robespierre, Brissot, and others. It paints a picture of intrigue, accusations, and shifts as ministers maneuver, with hopes for reconciliation, calm, and possible leniency toward emigrants and Louis XVI’s fate. The writer notes Dumourier’s victory could ease tensions and hints at a planned reconciliation excluding Marat.
