Je te couvre de baisers.
Napoleon.
No. 3.
To the Empress, at Aix-la-Chapelle.
Calais, August 6, 1804.
My Dear,—I arrived at Calais at midnight; I expect to start to-night for Dunkirk. I am in very fair health, and satisfied with what I see. I trust that the waters are doing you as much good as exercise, camp, and seascape are doing me.
Eugène has set off for Blois. Hortense is well. Louis is at Plombières.
I am longing to see you. You are always necessary to my happiness. My very best love.
Napoleon.
