My _dear_ Lehzen will _always_ remain with me as my friend, but will take no situation about me, and I think she is right.
[Pageheading: THE HOUSE OF COMMONS] _Lord John Russell to Queen Victoria._ WILTON CRESCENT, _22nd June 1837._ Lord John Russell[54] presents his humble duty to your Majesty, and has the honour to report that he presented to the House of Commons this day your Majesty's gracious Message.
He then moved an Address of Condolence and Congratulation, which was seconded by Sir Robert Peel.

Sir Robert Peel very properly took occasion to speak in terms of high admiration of the deportment of your Majesty before the Privy Council on Tuesday.

The Address was agreed to without a dissentient voice, and your Majesty may rest assured that the House of Commons is animated by a feeling of loyalty to the Throne, and of devotion to your Majesty.
[Footnote 54: Writing as Leader of the House of Commons.] _Queen Adelaide to Queen Victoria._ (Undated--_22nd or 23rd June 1837._) MY DEAREST NIECE,--I am most grateful for your amiable letter and truly kind offer to come and see me next week.

Any day convenient to your Majesty will be agreeable to me, the sooner the better, for I am equally anxious to see you again, and to express to you in person all that I feel for you at this trying moment.

If Monday will suit you I shall be ready to receive you and your dear Mother on that day.
