No. 2 To the Empress, at Strasburg
Enns, May 6, 1809, Noon.
My Dear,—I have received your letter. The ball that touched me has not wounded me; it barely grazed the tendon Achilles.
My health is very good. You are wrong to be uneasy.
My affairs here go excellently.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
Kind regards to Hortense and the Duke de Berg.32
