My best wishes and prayers attend you on all occasions, for I shall be for the rest of my life devoted and attached to you as your most affectionate Aunt and Subject, ADELAIDE.
_Queen Victoria to Viscount Melbourne._ KENSINGTON PALACE, _10th July 1837._ The Queen regrets very much to hear of Lord Melbourne's indisposition, and trusts it will be of no duration.
The Queen has just seen the Lord Chamberlain and has given him all her orders.

The Lord Chamberlain says that he will do everything in his power to facilitate the Queen's going into Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
The Queen fears that there may have been some mistake with respect to the Chapter of the Garter, for Lord Conyngham,[60] as well as several others, imagined it would be held on _Wednesday_ instead of _Friday_.
The Queen requests Lord Melbourne to rectify this mistake, as it is the Queen's intention to hold the Chapter on _Friday_.
[Footnote 60: The Lord Chamberlain.] _Queen Victoria to the King of the Belgians._ _11th July 1837._ MY DEAREST, BEST UNCLE,--...

I have got very little time and very little to say.

I _really_ and _truly_ go into Buckingham Palace the day after to-morrow, but I must say, though I am very glad to do so, I feel sorry to leave for _ever_ my poor old birthplace....
_25th._--I shall not go out of town, I think, before the 20th or thereabouts of next month.

Windsor requires thorough cleaning, and I must say I could not think of going in sooner after the poor King's death.
