No. 2 To the Empress Josephine, at Navarre
Paris, March 22nd, 1811.
My Dear,—I have your letter. I thank you for it.
My son is fat, and in excellent health. I trust he may continue to improve. He has my chest, my mouth, and my eyes. I hope he may fulfil his destiny. I am always well pleased with Eugène; he has never given me the least anxiety.
