Jacques Duval became a close friend of Marat, editor of L'Ami du Peuple, one of the most widely read and popular newspapers in Paris, and he used to send this down to us every week, so that we could keep abreast of all that was said and done in the capital. I was not sure what to make of it myself; it was an inflammatory sheet, whipping its readers to violence, and urging them to take action against the "enemies of the people" if legislation should be slow. Michel and François read every word of it, and passed it on to the workmen too-a mistaken gesture.
