I see in it already the injury which you are suffering, and I fear that you are not reasonable, and that you afflict yourself too much from the calamity which has befallen us. "Adieu my love. Entirely thine, Again, after the lapse of four days, he wrote: "I have received your letter of the tenth of May. I see that you have gone to Luchen. I think that you may rest there a fortnight.
It is to be borne in mind that these brief epistles were written from the midst of one of the most arduous of campaigns. Four days after this, on the 24th, Napoleon wrote to Josephine: "I have received your letter from Luchen. I see with pain that your grief is still unabated, and that Hortense has not yet arrived.
I hope you also will find strength to come and see your mother." Hortense immediately repaired to Luchen to seek a mother's sympathy. With Josephine she returned to Paris, and soon after, by the entreaties of her physician, continued her journey to take the waters of a mineral spring in the south of France, seeking a change of climate and of scene. Josephine remained in the depths of sorrow at St.
Cloud. On the same day in which Josephine arrived at Luchen, the Emperor wrote to her from the Vistula as follows: "Finckenstein, May 14th, 1807. "I can appreciate the grief which the death of poor Napoleon has caused. You can understand the anguish which I experience. I could wish that I were with you, that you might become moderate and discreet in your grief.
I had also news from your son. He is at the chateau of Luchen, very well, and awaiting the arrival of the king. He shares very keenly in our griefs. I have need of this consolation, for I have had none other since your departure. Always alone by myself, every moment dwelling upon the subject of our affliction, my tears flow incessantly. Adieu, my beloved child.
She is unreasonable, and does not merit that one should love her, since she loves only her children. Strive to calm yourself, and give me no more pain. For every irremediable evil we should find consolation. Adieu, my love. "Wholly thine, After two days again the Emperor wrote to Josephine: "I have received your letter of the 16th, and see with pleasure that Hortense has arrived at Luchen.
As soon as Josephine was able to move, she left Paris to visit her bereaved, heart-broken daughter. But her strength failed her by the way, and when she reached Luchen, a palace near Brussels, she was able to proceed no farther. She wrote as follows to Hortense: "Luchen, May 14th, 1807 10 o'clock P.M. "I have arrived this moment at the chateau of Luchen, my dear daughter.
