No. 6 To the Empress Josephine, at the Waters of Aix, in Savoy
Trianon, August 10, 1810.
Your letter to hand. I was pained to see what a risk you had run. For an inhabitant of the isles of the ocean to die in a lake would have been a fatality indeed!
The Queen is better, and I hope her health will be re-established. Her husband is in Bohemia, apparently not knowing what to do.
I am fairly well, and beg you to believe in my sincere attachment.
Napoleon.
August 21st.—Swedes elect Marshal Bernadotte Crown Prince of Sweden.
August 27th.—Massena takes Almeida.
