Title	Letter from Sir Robert Peel to Queen Victoria
Date	5 March 1846
Writer	Peel, Robert, Sir, 2nd Baronet
Addressee	Victoria, Queen
Description	Minor considerations (e.g. defeat of Gladstone and Lord Lincoln at the poll) will not cause Peel to relax his efforts in regard to the great question agitating the public mind [relating to Corn Laws]. Peel does not despair of some early opening for W.E. Gladstone's return - and Lord Lincoln's. Their absence from Commons very inconvenient. Peel will propose the Lordship of the Treasury to Captain Carnegie - then to Hamilton - on condition of their feeling assured of re-election. Failing this, Neville again to be offered the post.
