Letter Request.

[toi-marguerite.livejournal.com]

Salut citoyennes! 

Does anyone know where I might find the text of the letter Louis XVI wrote before the Flight to Varennes? I've been googling it, but, alas, all I get are articles mentioning that such a letter does, indeed, exist, without showing me any proof of it. 

Merci!

Actually, I think that's it. It can be found also in various collections of FR documents, but I found an abbreviated version of it on the web, just to give you an idea:

http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/varennes.html

- there are references on there as to where you can get the full text (for example, the French version can be found in the Archives Parlementaires, volume 27, pp. 378-383, which you can download from Gallica:

There might also be more information on this in T. Tackett's recently published book on the King's flight.
