January 20, 1810.
My Dear,—I send you the box that I promised you the day before yesterday—representing the Island of Lobau. I was rather tired yesterday. I work much, and do not go out.
Adieu, dear.
Napoleon.
No. 16.
To the Empress, at Malmaison.
Noon, Tuesday, 1810.
I hear that you are making yourself miserable; this is too bad. You have no confidence in me, and all the rumours that are being spread strike you; this is not knowing me, Josephine. I am much annoyed, and if I do not find you cheerful and contented, I shall scold you right well.
Adieu, dear.
Napoleon.
