Pichard and La Caillere, who are not yet eighteen, have deserted from their battalion..´ Lajonchere also refers to the news received about the events happening on the Spanish and Savoy boundaries, and further again states `Nothing changes, I think that our Generals are planning their response for the 3rd army of the Republic... They announce huge troops. But they never arrive. Brigands have again captured the Pont-Charin. We are waiting for forks..The troops returned after killing all the Freyteau women..´ Small overall age wear, otherwise G £250-350
