notable phrase
delay making an answer
hourly expected
give us a view of
present officers
after the conflict
this information is wanting
Dumoines account of that action
one may venture to conjecture on military to the prefect
most noble cause
indiscretion and villainy of its leaders
high men are put in jeopardy
lost their influence
that pre-eminent scoundrel Orleans & his party carry all before them
on the whole you ought not
combine justice with glory
at the same time I must confess I think it the most tempting scene ever presented to the view of talents and ambition
will shortly write you further.
