No. 8 To the Empress, at Paris
December 21, 1808.
You ought to have been at the Tuileries on the 12th. I trust you may have been pleased with your rooms.
I have authorised the presentation of Kourakin to you and the family; be kind to him, and let him take part in your plays.
Adieu, dear. I am well. The weather is rainy; it is rather cold.
Napoleon.
