Summary (extracted citations)

"Though it is not convenient in the present state of affairs, to subscribe to the loan toward the descent upon England, my economy permits me to make a small patriotic donation. I send a hundred livres, and with it all the wishes of my heart for the success of the descent, and a voluntary offer of any service I can render to promote it".

Notes

Paine's letter to the Council of Five Hundred was presented on 28 Jan 1798. The Directory ordered it to be published with the English and French side by side (De l'imprimerie nationale).

It was also published in Bonneville's journal, Le Bien-informé, with the addition of a brief note of thanks from the Council.
