Do we have access to saint-just's personal letters if there any of them even exists? (I mean by personal is the letters he wrote to his family and relatives or friends etc.)
(The same question for robespierre, marat, camille, danton, desmoulins, the duplay family and other people from your personal choice if you find something)
We don’t have any complete correspondence from Saint-Just that I’m aware of, but some of his letters have been published within Oeuvres de Saint Just (1908) volume 1 (7 letters), volume 2 (2 letters). Of these, I would say the most personal ones are this letter SJ sent his brother-in-law in December 1791, congratulating him on his marriage, as well as this letter to Daubigny written the following year, which contains the (in)famous words: ”go and see Desmoulins, embrace him for me, and tell him I shall never see him again.” There’s also Lettres inédites de Saint-Just (five letters, half of which are work related and written while on mission) and Deux nouvelles lettres de Saint-Just à Garat (two letters). This last article includes the following letter, which I suppose also qualifies as personal:
Paris, July 8
Citizen and friend,
It’s been a while since I’ve given you news of mine, nevertheless I have forgotten none of the testimonies of friendships that you’ve given me. When shall I have the pleasure of seeing you here again, the same time as last year when we saw each other?
I have little leisure, I do what I can to respond to your trust and provided that I give an account of my moments to the people, friendship will not be more severe.
I’m going to occupy myself with citizen Chassie, with the affair of citizen Bailli whom I pray you to assure of my most sincere attachment. If it pleases you, tell our common acquaintances that I have not forgotten them. I embrace your wife, your children and you.
Saint-Just.
Aside from that:
Correspondance de Maximilien et Augustin Robespierre (1926) (I’ve already talked about in which letters you might find the most personal details in this old post)
La correspondance de Marat (1908) (not looked enough on this to say how many letters are personal and how many are strictly business related)
Correspondance de George Couthon (1872) (only work related letters as far as I’m aware, no letters to loved ones etc)
Correspondance inédite de Camille Desmoulins (1836) (quite a lot of personal details in the many letters Camille sent his father. English translations of letters to his father, Lucile and her mother can be found here. Here is also a long, personal letter Camille wrote in 1782, the oldest conserved one from him that I’m aware of.)
Danton — for being a ”main revolutionary” we have surprisingly few letters from him. All I know of at this point are presented in this post.
Duplays — the only personal Ietter I’m aware of is this one which Madame Duplay adressed to her second oldest daughter Sophie written 1793. Two letters from Robespierre to Maurice Duplay can also be found in the former’s correspondence.
Correspondance de Brissot (1912)
Lettres de Madame Roland (1900)
Volume 1
Volume 2
Correspondance inédite de Marie-Antoinette (1864)
Lettres de Louis XVI: correspondance inédite, discours, maximes, pensées, observations etc (1862)
Memoirs, Correspondence and Manuscripts of General Lafayette (1837)
Volume 1
Volume 2
Volume 3
Two cute letters from Philippe to Élisabeth Lebas, both from November 1793. Many letters from Lebas to his father can also be found within Le Conventionnel Le Bas… (1901)
Philippeaux’ three prison letters to his wife

There's no way my boi Casper will win this so I'm playing "Where is Pierre?" to keep it entertaining.
(Yes, he does look at the match from time to time 😂)
