December, 1792

It was early December and I felt compelled to journey to France to witness the effects of the Revolution upon the French citizens. It was curious to experience the upheaval of their society for myself.

21 January 1793

Over a month has passed since my arrival and a great deal has happened. Relations in the country have become increasingly tense. Today the King has been executed. It seems that this may bring the onset of further chaos.

1 February 1793

My predictions have proven to be accurate as France declared war on Britain today. I pray that my country will not fall to French pressure.
