X)] _Memorandum by Mr Anson._ WINDSOR CASTLE, _3rd October 1841._ Sat by the Queen last night at dinner.

Her Majesty alluded to Sir Robert Peel's awkward manner, which she felt she could not get over.
I asked if Her Majesty had yet made any effort, which I was good-humouredly assured Her Majesty "thought she really had done." Sir Robert's ignorance of character was most striking and unaccountable; feeling this, made it difficult for Her Majesty to place reliance upon his judgment in recommendations.
[Pageheading: ENGLISH AND FOREIGN ARTISTS] [Pageheading: SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY] _Viscount Melbourne to Queen Victoria._ SOUTH STREET, _4th October 1811._ Lord Melbourne presents his humble duty to your Majesty.

He had the honour of receiving your Majesty's letter of the 2nd inst.

yesterday, at Wimbledon.

If Lord Melbourne should hear of anything of what your Majesty asks respecting the impression made upon Sir Robert and Lady Peel, he will take care and inform your Majesty, but, of course, they will speak very favourably, and if they feel otherwise will not breathe it except in the most secret and confidential manner.
Lord Melbourne is very much rejoiced to hear that the Duchess of Kent arrived safe and well and in good spirits.
Lord Melbourne sat to Sir F.Chantrey on Saturday last.
