Record Type	Correspondence
Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell
Date	4 July 1859
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, John, Lord
Description	Regarding this draft [not on file], as Mr Corbett cannot hold official communication with Tuscan Ministers, he should not be empowered to read the public despatch to them. Queen Victoria also points out the danger of advising a course of action which may prove embarrassing to Britain hereafter, if adopted at Britain's advice. So long as Sardinia and France have military possession of Italy more or less, there can be little question of free expression of popular wishes.
