Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	8 March 1849
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Regarding Sir Charles Napier's peerage, the Queen feels it would be better not to make any promises to him now. Such a promise might become very inconvenient for the future, for example, if Napier succeeded in his military operations but got the British Government into other difficulties, which might make it impossible to confer a Peerage on him.
