No. 4 October 15th — Napoleon at Weimar, He Releases 6000 Saxon Prisoners, Which Soon Causes Peace With Saxony
To the Empress, at Mayence.
Jena, October 15, 1806, 3 A.M.
My Dear,—I have made excellent manœuvres against the Prussians. Yesterday I won a great victory. They had 150,000 men. I have made 20,000 prisoners, taken 100 pieces of cannon, and flags. I was in presence of the King of Prussia, and near to him; I nearly captured him and the Queen. For the past two days I have bivouacked. I am in excellent health.
Adieu, dear. Keep well, and love me.
If Hortense is at Mayence, give her a kiss; also to Napoleon and to the little one.
Napoleon.
