You will best treat these questions now verbally.

Albert is quick, not obstinate, in conversation, and open to conviction if good arguments are brought forward.

When he thinks himself right he only wishes to have it _proved_ that he _misunderstands_ the case, to give it up without ill-humour.

He is not inclined to be sulky, but I think that he may be rendered a little melancholy if he thinks himself unfairly or unjustly treated, but being together and remaining together, there _never_ can arise, I hope, any occasion for any disagreement even on trifling subjects....

Ever, my dearest Victoria, your devoted Uncle, LEOPOLD R.
_The King of the Belgians to Queen Victoria._ BRUSSELS, _8th February 1840._ MY DEAREST VICTORIA,--This letter will arrive when I trust you will be most happily occupied; I don't mean therefore to trespass on your time.
May Heaven render you as happy as I always wished you to be, and as I always tried hard to see you.
