Title : “Lettre de St. Just à Robespierre”
“19 Août 1790”
“Signé St. Just”
The date of the letter : 19 August 1790
Signature : St. just
It seems that the French usually not use “St. just”, the English usually use “St. just” .
In addition, the English usually writes “rue Saint-Honoré” as “rue St. Honore” .
Maybe, the letter was forged? The letter was forged by English Spy?

What would anyone have to gain by forging a letter in the name of someone who, at that time, was an obscure provincial revolutionary? And especially considering that it doesn't even really talk about anything important - it just asks for help with a local trade issue and expresses admiration for Robespierre - I don't know what the point of forging such a letter would be.

Few people knew Saint-Just back then, and even if the letter could have been forged later, it dosn't make any sense either. What for? If it was an invention of Saint-Just friends, they should made it more flattering to him; and if the ones who "did" the purpoted falsification were his ennemies, they should forge a letter in which Saint-JUst culd be shown as a cruel and bad person.
