Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	27 April 1850
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Queen Victoria sanctions Lord Howden (John Hobart Caradoc, 2nd Baron Howden)'s appointment to Madrid to save the Government from embarrassment; but he is not the stamp of man in whom she could feel entire confidence that he will be proof against the spirit of intrigue. Queen Victoria declares that she ought to be openly dealt with. Howden has known all along that he was to go to Madrid; yet Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, said nothing to the Queen. If Queen Victoria must consider her Ministers, she too has the right to be considered by them.
