Record Type	Correspondence
Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	27 July 1848
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Queen Victoria acknowledges Lord John Russell's letters respecting Italy. The alterations in the draft meet many of the Queen's objections. While the French Republic cannot be safely trusted in this matter, she acknowledges the advantage of attempting to bind France to good conduct; but it must be done without the appearance of a league with them against a friendly Power [Austria] struggling to preserve a territory granted to it by a treaty to which England was party. The Queen approves the amended draft.
