But we shall try and do our best to make it as little dull as we can, and you will kindly take the will for the deed.
We came back from Nuneham yesterday afternoon.

Albert came back at half-past five on Tuesday from Oxford, where he had been enthusiastically received, but the students ...

had the bad taste to show their party feeling in groans and hisses when the name of a Whig was mentioned, which they ought not to have done in my husband's presence.
I must now conclude, begging you ever to believe me, your devoted Niece, VICTORIA R.
My Coiffeur will be quite at Louise's disposal, and he can _coiffer_ in any way she likes, if her dresser tells him how she wishes it.
[Pageheading: LORD BROUGHAM] [Pageheading: LETTER FROM LORD BROUGHAM] _Lord Brougham to Queen Victoria._[58] GRAFTON STREET, _19th June 1841._ MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN,--I crave leave humbly to approach your Majesty and to state in writing what I should have submitted to your Royal consideration at an Audience, because I conceive that this course will be attended with less inconvenience to your Majesty.
In the counsel which I ventured with great humility, but with an entire conviction of its soundness, to tender, I cannot be biassed by any personal interest, for I am not a candidate for office; nor by any Parliamentary interest, for I have no concern with elections; nor by any factious interest, for I am unconnected with party.

My only motive is to discharge the duty which I owe to both the Crown and the country.

Nor am I under the influence of any prejudice against your Majesty's servants or their measures; for I charge your Majesty's servants with nothing beyond an error, a great error, in judgment, and I entirely approve of the measures which they have lately propounded (with a single exception partially applicable to one of them), while I lament and disapprove of the time and manner of propounding them, both on account of the Government and of the measures themselves.
I feel myself, Madam, under the necessity of stating that the dissolution of the Parliament appears to me wholly without justification, either from principle or from policy.
