!! Urgent !! Looking for sources
Dear all, for my paper of 6,500 words I am looking for sources. I am mainly interested in looking at emotional language during the Terror-period. I already started to look for threatening letters towards Robespierre, I only got three so far!
Because the availability of these are scarce, I maybe look into 'fan-mail' or supporting letters to Robespierre as a contrast. Does anyone know interesting sources?

Sources
For a paper, I am looking for threat letters (or other sources) to politicians. These can be anonymous.
I am researching emotions during the Terror, especially the emotion of anger.

Citoyens,
My French isn't great, but if I understand correctly... Is this law about (among other things) removing secular (aka non-religious) schools?

Meric beaucoup!

Joseph Fouché
Does anyone know where I can find the decree of Fouché that banned public worship of Christianity (?) outside Churches? It was around October 1793

Quote from Hébert
I found this quote from Hébert. According to François-Alphonse Aulard this is quoted from Père Duchesne N347. However, I cannot find that quote in that specific number. So, does anyone know in which Père Duchesne I can find this?(see Aulard, Le Culte de la Raison et le culte de l’Être suprême 1892, 83-84). 
S’il existe un Dieu, ce qui n’est pas trop clair… Voilà toute l’audace philosophique d’Hébert, cette audace qu’on a tant blâmée et tant louée. Il suffira qu’aux Jacobins, Robespierre dise un mot contre l’athéisme, pour qu’aussitôt Hébert (n° 347) place le culte de la Raison sous l’égide du dieu de Jean-Jacques :
« Si l’être qui nous a créés, dit le père Duchesne, exige de nous un culte, celui de la Raison doit seul lui être agréable. Il a mis dans nos coeurs l’amour de la justice et la haine des méchants. Sa volonté est donc, f……, que nous soyons humains, bienfaisants et probes, n’importe comment. Puisque la Raison seule peut nous apprendre nos devoirs et nos droits, n’écoutons qu’elle seule. Tout le reste n’est que mensonge et imposture. Ainsi donc, f……, vive la raison, vivent la vérité et l’humanité ! Au f…… ; les prêtres, qui ne savent que mentir, tromper et égorger, f……! »

Still looking. Any links to works from Pierre Gaspard Chaumette and Antoine François Momoro?
Cult of Reason
I am *desperately* in search for primary sources about the Cult/Festival of Reason. This could be pamphlets, prints, speeches… etc.
Thank you!

I found it! It is in Ruth Scurr, Fatal Purity. Robespierre and the French Revolution (2006). Interesting though, in my version of the book “a dubious and evocative source” is not there.

I find this on twitter, but they did not name their source… So… Does anyone know which book this passage come from? (Tweet was about Robespierre being horrible towards women in his private life… Is Villiers even reliable here???)

Looking for sources
Hello. For my thesis, I am researching Robespierre’s religious views. If you have any (primary) sources, that would be helpful!

I'm starting a Frev Mythbusters master doc cause there's a lot of bullshit about Frev floating out there and I want to keep track of how to debunk them. Made it a Google doc so it can be continuously updated: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cQOmqCvmPuTAfiKBBme7_1p9eUL2OJJuQdAB_c1WGyw/edit?usp=drivesdk
Any suggestions for additions?

RIP Ronan Vibert
Just found out that actor Ronan Vibert has died (far too young!) He portrayed Robespierre in The Scarlet Pimpernel
