Napoleon is formally addressed and the letter is signed, "Your good friend, James Madison." The signature itself grades a 9.5/10.

I have received your Imperial and Royal Majesty's Letter announcing the marriage of your much loved son the Prince Eugene Napoleon with the Princess Auguste Amelie of Bavaria which was celebrated at Munich on the 14th of the preceding January. From the interest we take as your Majesty very justly supposes in the events which contribute to your happiness, we pray your Majesty to receive our cordial congratulations on this occasion…" Dated March 15, 1809.
