Rebuking her lawyer for failing to defend her, and thanking the one who did: "le Citoyen doulcet de pontecoulant est un lache d'avoir refusé de me defendre, lorsque la chose était si facile. Celui qui la fait s'en est acquitté avec toute la dignité possible, je lui en conserve ma reconnaissance jusqu'au dernier moment. Marie de Corday." These are Corday's last written words, written as she awaited execution for the assassination by stabbing of Marat.
