We did much yesterday when we bound the hands of the soldiers; but we have much more to do than we have yet done.

Already in Nantes and in Angers are they talking of what we yesterday performed.

We shall doubtless have many friends in Nantes and Angers, but the Republic also has many friends in those towns, and the soldiers of the Republic are strong there.

It will not be long before they hurry to St.Florent to avenge the disgrace of their comrades; and bitter will be their revenge if they take you unprepared.

You have declared war against the Republic, and you must be prepared to fight it out to the end." "We will, we will," shouted the people.
