It was eleven thirty in the evening on May 27th, 1801, and the setting was London's South Bank.
Inside his tent, Napoleon sat down to write a personal letter to his wife, Ciela. The purpose was to keep her informed about the ongoing situation in Great Britain. He tried to reassure her by predicting that the war wouldn't drag on for more than a month, as he believed that the United Kingdom was falling into internal chaos. Napoleon also took a moment to inform her that he remained uninjured since the beginning of the campaign and expressed how much he missed her and their children.
Finishing the letter, he neatly folded it and placed it inside an envelope. He would have it delivered first thing tomorrow morning to France.
