To the Empress Josephine, at the Waters of Aix, in Savoy.
St. Cloud, July 20, 1810.
My Dear,—I have received your letter of July 14th, and note with pleasure that the waters are doing you good, and that you like Geneva. I think that you are doing well to go there for a few weeks.
My health is fairly good. The conduct of the King of Holland has worried me.
Hortense is shortly coming to Paris. The Grand Duke of Berg is on his way; I expect him to-morrow.
Adieu, dear.
Napoleon.
