(Letter of Laplanche, Orleans, September 10, 1793.--"Also proces-verbaux of the Orleans sections, September 7.) "I organized them, after selecting them from the popular club, into a revolutionary committee.

They worked under my own eye, their bureau being in an adjoining chamber...

I required sure, local information, which I could not have had without collaborators of the country....

The result is that I have arrested this night more than sixty aristocrats, strangers or 'suspects."-- "De Martel, Etudes sur Fouche," 84.

Letter of Chaumette, who posted Fouche concerning the Nevers Jacobins.
