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?

I think I've read it at Courtois book about "Papers found at Robespierre's , Saint-Just, Couthon, Payan, and so on". It's plenty of scrap. I think you may consult it (and other good books on French Revolution at www.archive.org .
