I seem to recall reading about a letter that Robespierre sent to Camille that was along the lines of, "I'm glad you're happily married, Camille, but you've been neglecting your work."  Am I just making this up or is there such a letter?  Does anyone have a copy of the text?  French is preferred, but English is good too.

I've just looked in Claretie (the wedding chapter) and not found it there, either (I was sure that was where I came across it!) - it was something along the lines of, 'please tear yourself away from lucile's lovely face and publish this important document in your mag', though more elegantly put.

There's a scene in 'A Place of Greater Safety' derived from it, without quoting it. Argh! It may still be in Claretie, but out of context in a footnote or something. Mathiez?? It does exist, somewhere out there!
