The weather has become rather cold again. I see that the winter has been very variable everywhere.
Adieu, dear; keep well, be cheerful, and never doubt my affection,—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
No. 52.
To the Empress, at Paris.
Osterode, March 11, 1807.
My Dear,—I received your letter of the 27th. I am sorry to see from it that you are ill; take courage. My health is good; my affairs prosper. I am waiting for fine weather, which should soon be here. I love you and want to know that you are content and cheerful.
A great deal of nonsense will be talked of the battle of Eylau; the bulletin tells everything; our losses are rather exaggerated in it than minimised.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
