X)] [Pageheading: VISIT TO WOBURN] _Memorandum by Mr Anson._ WOBURN ABBEY, _27th July 1841._ Arrived here last night with the Prince and the Queen; this is now the second expedition (Nuneham being the first) which Her Majesty has taken, and on neither occasion has the Baroness accompanied us.
The Prince went yesterday through a review of the many steps he had made to his present position--all within eighteen months from the marriage.

Those who intended to keep him from being useful to the Queen, from the fear that he might ambitiously touch upon her prerogatives, have been completely foiled; they thought they had prevented Her Majesty from yielding anything of importance to him by creating distrust through imaginary alarm.

The Queen's good sense, however, has seen that the Prince has no other object in all he seeks but a means to Her Majesty's good.

The Court from highest to lowest is brought to a proper sense of the position of the Queen's husband.
The country has marked its confidence in his character by passing the Regency Bill _nem.

con._ The Queen finds the value of an active right hand and able head to support her and to resort to for advice in time of need.
