How to get rid of Log[e] from mathematica output?

My mathematica output is

-0.751988 - 0.0708732 Log[e] - 0.0140273 Log[e]^2

But I want mathematica to calculate this expression for me i.e. set Log[e] = 1 and sum the terms. How do I instruct it to do that. I'm assuming it must be treating the functions as complex??

Regards

You probably wanted E or \[ExponentialE] which has the input alias ⋮ee⋮.

Built-in symbols are capitalized, so constants like pi, e are written as Pi, E
