No. 10 To the Empress, at Malmaison
Friday, 8 P.M., 1810.
I wished to come and see you to-day, but I cannot; it will be, I hope, in the morning. It is a long time since I heard from you. I learnt with pleasure that you take walks in your garden these cold days.
Adieu, dear; keep well, and never doubt my affection.
Napoleon.
