Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	15 January 1852
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Queen Victoria hopes that the Cabinet will fully consider what their object is before the proposed negotiations with Sir James Graham are opened. Is it to strengthen their case in Parliament or to effect a junction with Parliament? If the first, the Cabinet will hardly reap any advantage. Graham will shrewdly see the object. If the latter, there are two kinds of junction - one a fusion of parties, the other the absorption of one party by the other. Queen Victoria thinks the Peelites are ready for fusion. An absorption is unlikely to succeed. Queen Victoria consents to Lord John Russell's negotiations with Graham having remarked so much on Russell.
