The Last Letter of Marie Antoinette

[livviebway.livejournal.com]

One of bizarre stories I've heard floating around about the French Revolution is that Marie Antoinette's last letter to Mme Elisabeth was found under Robespierre's bed after his execution. Funny how no biography I've read of his has ever mentioned this, you'd think it would be important. Anyway, does anyone know where this story came from?

Ok, sorry, last reply! I've been searching through biographies of Robespierre looking for it and I haven't seen any mention of it in any biography of him.

Someone would have mentioned it in at least one biography of him if it were true, it seems to me.
