No. 66 To the Empress, at Paris
Finckenstein, May 2, 1807, 4 P.M.
My Dear,—I have just received your letter of the 23rd; I see with pleasure that you are well, and that you are as fond as ever of Malmaison. I hear the Arch-Chancellor is in love. Is this a joke, or a fact? It has amused me; you might have given me a hint about it!
I am very well, and the fine season commences. Spring shows itself at length, and the leaves begin to shoot.
Adieu, dear; very best wishes.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
