On January 9, 1800, Jefferson wrote from Washington to Dufief in Philadelphia: “
. . . should you possess Doumourier’s account of his campaigns, Carnot’s or Madame Roland’s books, I will thank you for them,
by the stage . . .
”
Jefferson expressed his opinion of Dumouriez in a letter to Doctor Gilmer, written from Philadelphia, June 28, 1793: “
. . . Dumourier was known to be a scoundrel in grain. I mentioned this from the beginning of his being placed at the head
of the armies: but his victories at length silenced me. his apostacy has now proved that an unprincipled man, let his other
fitnesses be what they will, ought never to be employed . . .
”
Charles François Dupérrier Dumouriez, 1739-1823, French general at the time of the Revolution. Jefferson’s criticism refers to his attempt to overthrow the Revolutionary
government after his defeat at Neerwinden in January 1793.
