No. 79 To the Empress, at St. Cloud
Tilsit, June 19, 1807.
This morning I despatched Tascher to you, to calm all your fears. Here all goes splendidly. The battle of Friedland has decided everything. The enemy is confounded, overwhelmed, and greatly weakened.
My health is good, and my army is superb.
Adieu, dear. Be cheerful and contented.
Napoleon.
June 21st.—Armistice concluded at Tilsit.
