Napoleon.
No. 21.
To the Empress, at the Elysée-Napoleon.
Friday, 6 P.M., 1810.
Savary, as soon as he arrived, brought me your letter; I am sorry to see you are unhappy. I am very glad that you saw nothing of the fire.
I had fine weather at Rambouillet.
Hortense told me that you had some idea of coming to a dinner at Bessières, and of returning to Paris to sleep. I am sorry that you have not been able to manage it.
Adieu, dear. Be cheerful, and consider how much you please me thereby.
Napoleon.
