If he accepts, he might be one of your _gentlemen_.

_Lord Melbourne is particularly desirous of doing everything that is most agreeable to you._ I have a request to make, too, viz., that you will appoint poor Clark your _physician_; you need not consult him unless you wish it.

It is only an honorary title, and would make him very happy....
[Pageheading: THE PROTESTANT QUESTION] _Queen Victoria to the King of the Belgians._ WINDSOR CASTLE, _9th December 1839._ MY DEAR UNCLE,--...

I was quite miserable at not hearing from Albert for _ten_ days; such a long silence is quite insupportable for any one in my position towards Albert, and I was overjoyed on receiving yesterday the _most_ dear, _most_ affectionate, delightful long letter from him.

He writes so beautifully, and so simply and unaffectedly.
I hope, dear Uncle, you received my last letter (quite a packet) for Albert, on the 5th or 6th?
I send you another now.
