The letter was as follows: “The chairman has just informed me that I am going to be shot in a few moments. I have remained faithful to the ideals I have held all my life. .“For the last time I have examined my conscience. I have no feelings of remorse; I would follow again the same road. Adieu—Long live France.” The writer was exhausted by his stay in prison and was carried to the place of execution. He died singing.
