No. 22 December 12th — Treaty of Peace and Alliance Between France and Saxony Signed at Posen
To the Empress, at Mayence.
Posen, December 12th, 1806, 7 P.M.
My Dear,—I have not received any letters from you, but know, nevertheless, that you are well. My health is good, the weather very mild; the bad season has not begun yet, but the roads are bad in a country where there are no highways. Hortense will come then with Napoleon; I am delighted to hear it. I long to see things shape themselves into a position to enable you to come.
I have made peace with Saxony. The Elector is King and one of the confederation.
Adieu, my well-beloved Josephine.—Yours ever,
Napoleon.
A kiss to Hortense, Napoleon, and Stephanie.
Päer, the famous musician, his wife, a virtuoso whom you saw at Milan twelve years ago, and Brizzi are here; they give me a little music every evening.
