No. 22 To the Empress, at Malmaison
Schoenbrunn, September 25, 1809.
I have received your letter. Be careful, and I advise you to be vigilant, for one of these nights you will hear a loud knocking.
My health is good. I know nothing about the rumours; I have never been better for many a long year. Corvisart was no use to me.
Adieu, dear; everything here prospers.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
September 26th.—Battle of Silistria; Turks defeat Russians.
