Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	21 January 1854
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Queen Victoria understands the scheme approved by the Cabinet regarding the 1854 Reform Bill.

The success of the measure will depend on the Bribery Bills which will accompany it and may affect the passing of the Reform Bill. The Queen asks 'how far are they advanced?'
