Interesting letter on the beginnings of the Convention. They ask to send immediately "the minutes of nomination of those members of the National Assembly who have already been elected to the National Convention. As it cannot begin until two hundred members have been assembled, it could happen that without the minutes to record the elections, the opening of the convention would be impossible at the time of the 20th of December [...] You can see how important it is not to lose a moment in order to put the national convention into operation. It is in his hands that the fate of the French nation is going to be handed over and the moment is pressing"...Attached is a L.A.S. from his widow Agathe Ducos to J.B.
