Adieu, dear. Never doubt the depth of my feelings for you; you would be unjust and unfair if you did.
Napoleon.
No. 13.
To the Empress, at Malmaison.
Saturday, 1 P.M., 1810.
My Dear,—Yesterday I saw Eugène, who told me that you gave a reception to the kings. I was at the concert till eight o'clock, and only dined, quite alone, at that hour.
I long to see you. If I do not come to-day, I will come after mass.
Adieu, dear. I hope to find you sensible and in good health. This weather should indeed make you put on flesh.
Napoleon.
