Scope and content:

I am exceedingly anxious about everything concerning you and your respected parents. The loss of my dear husband. A painful gland in my breast gives me just fears, concerning the duration of my existence. My poor son was very tenderly touched by the interest you had taken in his sad destinies. I have seen Hortense [de Beauharnais] in her country house. She has recovered her health. She goes over her very little domain and is busy beautifying it. You know how much I cherished her when she was a Republican citizen having lost her passing crown.
