Two letters: one LS in French, signed "Carnot" and countersigned "Lindet," one page, 7.25 x 9.5, Comite de Salut Public letterhead, July 1, 1794, which reads in small part, "We are sending you, General, 100 copies of SAINT JUST'S report on the Police..."; and a brief ANS in French, signed "Carnot," in the margin of a letter from a doctor on an 8 x 9 sheet, indicating that it had been forwarded to the Minister of War. The doctor's letter, in part (translated): "One of the four soldiers who signed the petition...in favor of Drouet seemed to me an extreme terrorist, an out-and-out madman...I believe the others are sincere Republicans and guilty only of having allowed themselves to be duped, seduced." In overall very good condition, with scattered toning, soiling, and foxing, and a few small tears.
