No. 48 To the Empress, at Paris
Liebstadt, February 21, 1807, Noon.
My Dear,—Your letter of the 8th received; I see with pleasure that you have been to the opera, and that you propose holding receptions weekly. Go occasionally to the theatre, and always into the Royal box. I notice also with pleasure the banquets you are giving.
I am very well. The weather is still unsettled; it freezes and thaws.
I have once more put my army into cantonments in order to rest them.
Never be doleful, love me, and believe in my entire affection.
Napoleon.
