Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher,
Blücher's letter to Davoust, 1 July
(1815)
“ Do you solicit the maledictions of Paris, in addition to those of Hamburg? We shall enter Paris to protect the respectable inhabitants against the mob, by whom they are threatened with pillage. An Armistice can be made with security nowhere but in Paris. ”
Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher,
Blücher's letter to Davoust, 1 July
(1815)
“ If General Frimont has considered himself authorised to conclude an Armistice with your General opposed to him, that is no motive for us to do the same. We shall pursue our victory. God has given us strength and resolution to do so. ”
