No. 50 To the Empress, at Paris
Osterode, March 2, 1807.
My Dear,—It is two or three days since I wrote to you; I reproach myself for it; I know your uneasiness. I am very well; my affairs prosper. I am in a wretched village, where I shall pass a considerable time; it is not as good as the great city! I again assure you, I was never in such good health; you will find me very much stouter.
It is spring weather here; the snow has gone, the streams are thawing—which is what I want.
I have ordered what you wish for Malmaison; be cheerful and happy; it is my will.
Adieu, dear; I embrace you heartily.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
