Louis Masicot (Masicote, Massicott, Masicolt) was known by Shaler
in Havana as a French agent, though Villars says he came from New
Orleans. He was one of two representatives of the army on the revo-

of age. Shaler feared that he would use his position in the govern-
ment to make Texas into a haven for Frenchmen. Shaler to Monroe,
