Went again to Shonbrunn - a fine day but the gardens have lost their charms - the flowers gone, the leaves fallen from the trees - a thin sheet of ice on the pond where the golden fish swim.

The emperor has removed to the city palace - the rooms were shown to us - those occupied by the emperor and era-press are very plain and small - two narrow camp beds placed side by side forms the imperial couchette - close to one stood a prie dieu which suppose is the one used by the empress - then a few good landscapes and portraits and some of the rooms are ornamented with Chinese Japanese work - the room occupied by Napoleon is one of them.

The mark of the ball fired by a German soldier at Napoleon as he stood at the window was shown to us - the man suffered immediate death for the attempt - there was some embroidered work in frames done by the hands of Maria Therese - also some chairs - the silk with which they are covered being- of one of her robes - there are also some drawings in water colours - very neatly done - the work of her daughter the unfortunate Maria Antoinette.

Returned to the city and dined at the Casino - paid passage to Trieste by the personel al wagen or diligence - to start at 7 o clock morning of 19th.
