Funny letters from Napoleon

 Napoleon Bonaparte was born today in 1769 and this got me thinking about a video clip I saw of an actor reading letters Napoleon wrote to his wife Josephine.

Anyway, I thought the video was funny so I’m sharing it here. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
