We are going to spend two or three days in Lectoure [hometown of Jean Lannes], I do not want to leave him alone, I hope we will be in Paris around the tenth of next month ... Please (...) go see the Queen [Caroline Bonaparte, Queen of Naples] and tell her that she can be reassured about the King's health, and that I will do everything needed to make the stay at Lectoure as pleasurable as possible (...) Farewell, my dear Louise, with all my heart ... "
