Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	31 July 1846
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Queen Victoria considers the accounts of Prince Albert's reception at Liverpool to be most satisfactory. The Queen approves the offer of Groom-in-Waiting to Sir Edward Codrington and, failing him, Captain Elliot. Queen Victoria was horrified at the news of the attempt on the life of the King of the French: it is sad to think of the crimes being committed against such exemplary people as the King and Queen of the French. She thinks of the life of anxiety for those who love the King, wondering what the object of such crime might be. King Louis Philippe's dynasty is firmly established, and the Duke of Nemours is so sensible and clever that there would be no disorder if the King's life was lost.
