Napoleon.
No. 2.
To the Empress, at Malmaison.
Tuesday, 6 o'clock.
The Queen of Naples, whom I saw at the hunt in the Bois de Boulogne, where I rode down a stag, told me that she left you yesterday at 1 P.M. in the best of health.
Please tell me what you are doing to-day. As for me, I am very well. Yesterday, when I saw you, I was ill. I expect you will have been for a drive.
Adieu, dear.
Napoleon.
No. 3.
