Wolkersdorf, July 9, 1809, 2 A.M.
My Dear,—All goes here as I wish. My enemies are defeated, beaten, utterly routed. They were in great numbers; I have wiped them out. To-day my health is good; yesterday I was rather ill with a surfeit of bile, occasioned by so many hardships, but it has done me much good.
Adieu, dear. I am in excellent health.
Napoleon.
July 12th.—Armistice of Znaim. Archduke Charles resigns his command.

To the Empress, at Plombières.
In the Camp, before Znaim, July 13, 1809.
I send you the suspension of arms concluded yesterday with the Austrian General. Eugène is on the Hungary side, and is well. Send a copy of the suspension of arms to Cambacérès, in case he has not yet received one.
