No. 47 To the Empress, at Paris
Liebstadt, February 21, 1807, 2 A.M.
Your letter of the 4th February to hand; I see with pleasure that your health is good. Paris will thoroughly re-establish it by giving you cheerfulness and rest, and a return to your accustomed habits.
I am wonderfully well. The weather and the country are vile. My affairs are fairly satisfactory. It thaws and freezes within twenty-four hours; there can never have been known such an extraordinary winter.
Adieu, dear; I love you, I think of you, and wish to know that you are contented, cheerful, and happy.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
