Second Restoration (1793-1794), 12 days before the Battle of Fleurus on June 26, 1794, and the incorporation of the Pays de Liège into the French Republic.

Beautiful letter from a French emigrant to his wife who remained in Maastricht, as the Austrians and French emigrants retook the city for a few days....
______________________

Liège, June 14, 1794,
I was hoping to have the pleasure of kissing you on Thursday as we had agreed, and I don't know, my dear friend, what prevented me from doing so. Although I was on guard that day, I went to meet you and was very surprised not to see my little rascal among the arrivals, especially after being informed by Mr. Dupont that they confirmed nine days in a row. Based on the desire you expressed to me to be there, I was certain you would come. I am on guard today and I will only be able to fly into your arms tomorrow, Sunday. I will leave here at two in the afternoon. I urge you and my sister Betcht to come meet me, leaving Maastricht at five o'clock. Please do me the favor of bringing me a pair of stockings so I can change before entering Maastricht.
To see my little half again, my compliments to dad, mom, our brothers and sisters, and I am for life your faithful husband and friend, the Knight of Bavaria.
I think the emigrants from Maastricht will return next week; I will be very pleased.
A thousand loving kisses.

... In July 1794, the Austrians and French émigrés will abandon Liège to the French Republican army.
