Title	Letter from Queen Victoria to Lord Russell
Date	3 November 1862
Writer	Victoria, Queen
Addressee	Russell, 1st Earl
Description	Queen Victoria discusses the question of Greece [and who might be appointed as King], and various possible candidates: the Duke of Leuchtenberg, Prince Nicholas of Nassau and [ex-] King Ferdinand of Portugal. She explains that she wished Lord Russell to be firm on the subject of Schleswig-Holstein, about which the Danes behave 'uncommonly ill'. The Queen withdraws her objection to the appointment of Mr. Lowther. As she has felt too unwell to write, she has dictated this letter to Princess Helena.
