Toussaint letter to Biassou during Boukman Rebellion

This letter, written by Toussaint Louverture during the Boukman Rebellion, was addressed to Georges Biassou, one of the commanders of the rebellious slaves. It was under Biassou that Toussaint started his military carreer, shortly after the events at Bois Caïman, at which Biassou was present. It was only in the 1930’s that this letter was credited to Toussaint, who functioned as a general doctor in the rebel’s camp.
