No. 8 To the Empress, at Malmaison
Paris, this Friday.
My Dear,—Yours to hand. I am sorry to see that you have been ill; I fear it must be this bad weather.
Madame de la T—— is one of the most foolish women of the Faubourg. I have borne her cackle for a very long time; I am sick of it, and have ordered that she does not come again to Paris. There are five or six other old women that I equally wish to send away from Paris; they are spoiling the young ones by their follies.
I will name Madame de Makau Baroness since you wish it, and carry out your other commissions.
My health is pretty good. The conduct of B—— appears to me very ridiculous. I trust to hear that you are better.
Adieu, dear.
Napoleon.
