_Your_ advice is always of the _greatest importance_ to me.
Respecting Claremont, Stockmar will be able to explain to you the _total_ impossibility of my being out of London, as I must see my Ministers _every_ day.

I am _very_ well, sleep well, and drive every evening in the country; it is so hot that walking is out of the question.

Before I go further let me pause to tell you how fortunate I am to have at the head of the Government a man like Lord Melbourne.
I have seen him now every day, with the exception of Friday, and the more I see him, the more confidence I have in him; he is not only a clever statesman and an honest man, but a good and a kind-hearted man, whose aim is to do his duty for his country and not for a _party_.

He is of the greatest use to me both politically and privately.
I have seen almost all my other Ministers, and do regular, hard, but to _me delightful_, work with them.

It is to me the _greatest pleasure_ to do my duty for my country and my people, and no fatigue, however great, will be burdensome to me if it is for the welfare of the nation.
