1. Josephine to Napoleon
A thousand, thousand tender thanks for ot having forgotten me. My son has just brought me your letter. With what ardor I read yet it has taken a deal of time, because there is not a word which has not made me weep; but those tears were very sweet ! I have recovered my heart entirely, and such as it will always be, there are feelings which, are life itself, and which may not end but with life
I am in despair that my letter of the 19th should have displeased you; I do not entirely recall the wording; but I know what very painful feeling had dictated it, it was grief at not having a word from you.
I worte you on leaving Malmaison; and how many times thereafter did I wish to write ! But I felt the reasons for your silence, and I feared to seem importunate, by wirting. Your letter has been a balm to me. Be happy; be as happy as you deserve; it is my whole heart that speaks. You have given me my share, too, of happiness, and a share very keenly falt; nothing else can have for me the value of a token of remembrace.
Adieu, my friend; I thank you as tenderly as I shall love you always.
Josephine.
Navarre, April, 1810
