(Amiens, May 9, 1795.) "As we had obtained a few six franc crowns and
were able to get a small supply of wheat. . . . Mr. D and the
servants eat bread made of three fourths bran and one fourth flour.
When we bake it we carefully close the doors, paying no attention to
the door bell, and allow no visitor to come in until every trace of
the operation is gone. . . The distribution now consists of a
mixture of sprouted wheat, peas, rye, etc., which scarcely resembles
bread." (April 12.) "The distribution of bread (then) was a quarter of
a pound a day. Many of those who in other respects were well off, got
nothing at all."
