Date	10 January 1849
Writer	Russell, John, Lord
Addressee	Victoria, Queen
Description	Sir George Grey, unwilling to undertake [role of First Lord of the Admiralty, in succession to Lord Auckland], urges Sir James Graham's appointment. Lords Lansdowne and Palmerston approve. Grey thinks Graham would be more likely to accept if offered a peerage. This could be done since two Peerages have become extinct (Lake and Beauvale). Russell suggests the peerage. Russell is considering means for retaining Mr Shuttleworth's services without exposing him to labour which is destructive to life.
