'Denounced at the Jacobins': Gouges writes to Brissot

On 20thNovember 1792, Olympe de Gouges wrote to Jacques Pierre Brissot, editor of  Le Patriote Francais, sending him a set of documents and asking that he should extract them in his paper. She had been denounced at the Jacobins club and feared for her safety. In the PS, she says that she has also received threatening letters and would like to set up a meeting with Brissot to discuss her situation. 
 
Gouges had in fact been denounced at the Jacobins by Leonard Bourdon, for having written against the Jacobins's actions leading to the massacres of 10 August and 2 September 1792. The Jacobins, she claimed, especially Marat and Robespierre, were entirely responsible for inciting popular violence. Interestingly, Manon Roland had blamed Danton for the same thing. But from inside the Government, Manon knew, or suspected, that it was Danton who'd ordered the signal to start the massacre, while Olympe, as a public writer and philosopher, knew that it was the speeches and writings of Marat and Robespierre that had prepared the people to react to that signal.
 
The two documents that Olympe sent Brissot can be found on Clarissa Palmer's excellent site : 
 
Court correspondence. A principled report and my last words to my dear friends, by Olympe Degouges [sic], to the National Convention and to the People. On a denunciation made to the Jacobins, against her patriotism, by Monsieur Bourdon 

Prognostic of Maximilien Robespierre, by an Amphibious Animal published 5 November 1792, in which she attacks Robespierre and Marat for inciting the people to violence on August 10 and September 2.

Below is a translation of the letter to Brissot and a photograph of the actual letter taken at the Archives Nationale on 5 June 2019 (446AP/7-18)

​Note that the letter and the signature are in different hands, as Gouges was using a secretary. Note also that she signs herself  'Olimpe', not 'Olympe'. 

20 November, year 1 of the Republic

I am passing on to you, Citizen, my report, together with the pamphlet that preceded it. Do I need to beg you to publish an extract in the Patriote Français? I am appealing to your republican principles, not attempting to save myself from the atrocious calumny that those who disturb the public peace have sown on my civic virtue. 
 
But, to honour truth, you may be aware of the denunciation against me made at the Jacobins? I know from a good source that they have sworn my death. I am expecting it and I am not afraid. I leave my defense to your enlightened patriotism and the strength of your logic, as long as you believe that a woman who has succeeded in being useful for her country deserves your justice. 
 
Yours with all legal sentiments, 
 
Olimpe de Gouges

PS: at the time of writing I am receiving anonymous letters of a nature to alarm a strong soul. I would like two words with you, at yours or mine. Let me know the time, place and day. I await your response.
