Je reçois ta lettre du 18 juillet. Je vois avec plaisir que les eaux te font du bien. Je ne vois aucun inconvénient qu’à la fin de tes eaux tu ailles à la Malmaison. La chaleur est assez grande ici. Ma santé est fort bonne. Adieu, mon amie. Eugène est à Vienne, et très bien portant. Tout à toi.

I have received your letter of July 18. I am pleased to see that the waters are doing you good. I see no objection to your going to Malmaison when you have finished taking the waters. The heat is rather great here. My health is very good. Farewell, my friend. Eugène is in Vienna, and in excellent health. All yours.

Your letter of July 18 has arrived. I am glad the waters are helping you. I see no reason why you should not go to Malmaison when you have finished your course of treatment. It is quite hot here. My health is excellent. Goodbye, my dear. Eugène is in Vienna and is very well. Yours entirely.
