"I HAVE REGISTERED ON THE NEW JACOBIN LIST. You are one of the 72 responsible for purging it. I believe that you must not neglect this function and that you must above all hasten to complete it and present the new society to the public. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE LIBERTY TO BE VERY COMPROMISED, who at present are content to sulk at home, and who will join the nucleus as soon as it takes on some consistency. Please accept my compliments. The iron mouth is closing, only you dare to speak."
