We do, and shall, miss you so dreadfully; Lord Melbourne will easily understand what a change it is, after these four years when she had the happiness of having Lord Melbourne always about her.

But it will not be so long till we meet again.

Happier and brighter times will come again.

We anxiously hope Lord Melbourne is well, and got up well and safe.

The Queen trusts he will take care of his valuable health, now more than ever.
