"Paris le 24 frimaire de l’an troisième de la République Française, une et indivisible.
Rapport
Au Comité de Salut Public
Le Citoyen Henrion Directeur général des transports militaires de l’armée de Sambre et Meuse, nous fait connaitre le trait de Bravoure du C[itoye]n Pomme Charretier de la division Hautenot, qui n’a pas craint de s’exposer à une mort presque certaine en bravant le feu de l’ennemi pour sauver à la republique la perte de deux chevaux qui s’etaient échappé et avaient été sous les palissades entre la porte de la ville et le fort st jean.
Le trait de Bravoure du cit[oy]en Pomme ne doit pas rester sans récompense : mais comme la capacité et les connaissances de ce citoyen ne répondent pas à son généreux dévouement à l’intérêt de la république, il est impossible de l’élever a un grade supérieur, on ne peut que le reconnaitre par une simple gratification.
Le comité est prié de fixer la récompense que mérite le citoyen Pomme."
