No. 74 To the Empress, at Malmaison
Dantzig, June 2, 1807.
My Dear,—I note your arrival at Malmaison. I have no letters from you; I am vexed with Hortense, she has never written me a line. All that you tell me about her grieves me. Why have you not found her some distractions? Weeping won’t do it! I trust you will take care of yourself in order that I may not find you utterly woebegone.
I have been the two past days at Dantzic; the weather is very fine, my health excellent. I think more of you than you are thinking of a husband far away.
Adieu, dear; very kindest regards. Pass on this letter to Hortense.
Napoleon.
