Your Majesty should desire Sir Robert Peel to give notice to all those who have insignia of office, such as Seals, Wands, to give up, to attend at Claremont on Friday; but of course he will do this of himself.

Your Majesty will have much to go through upon that day and much that is painful.

Your Majesty should spare yourself and be spared as much as possible.

It will not be necessary for Lord Melbourne to go down.

He may be considered as having resigned at the Audience which he had of your Majesty at Windsor, and Lord Melbourne has ventured to tell Lord Lansdowne that he thinks he need not do so either, and that your Majesty will excuse his attendance.
