Lebas & Saint-Just to Robespierre

rbzpr:

Strasbourg, 15th [day] of the 2nd month of the Year II

Hérault comes to announce to us, my dear Robespierre, that he was sent to the department of Haut-Rhin. He proposes us a correspondence; our surprise is extreme. Moreover, this is not the only thing that seems extraordinary to us. Why are those who were here when one pushed the lines of Wissembourg not replaced, and why leave here representatives [that are] forced by the nature of their mission to isolate themselves from their colleagues? I don’t have the time to tell you any more of this; but I hope that you will kindly write us of your ideas thereupon. I embrace you.

Signed Lebas.

Confidence no longer has worth, when one shares it with corrupt men; so one fulfils one’s duty by the love of the patrie only, and this feeling is more pure. I embrace you, my friend.

Signed Saint-Just.

To Robespierre the Elder.

  11. charie-caphine a dit : Abolished “vous”??? Dude I’d have stuck out with a preference for “vous” and anti-revolutionary addresses to every last street rat as “milady” lol.
  12. silver-whistle a reblogué ce billet depuis bunniesandbeheadings et a ajouté :
    “Vous” had recently been abolished. Le Bas is being a bit old-fashioned, or is perhaps assuming multiple readers.

  14. silver-whistle a dit : Probably because as a younger person, Saint-Just has embraced more thoroughly the language changes, abolishing ‘vous’.
