I despatch a page to tell you that, on the 14th, the anniversary of Marengo, Eugène won a battle against the Archduke John and the Archduke Palatine, at Raab, in Hungary; that he has taken 3000 men, many pieces of cannon, 4 flags, and pursued them a long way on the road to Buda-Pesth.

To the Empress, at Plombières.
Schoenbrunn, June 19, 1809, Noon.
I have your letter, which tells me of your departure for Plombières. I am glad you are making this journey, because I trust it may do you good.
Eugène is in Hungary, and is well. My health is very good, and the army in fighting trim.
