Victoria R.
The Duke of Cambridge to Queen Victoria.
PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE
Cambridge House, 10th June 1850.
My dearest Victoria,—I seize the earliest opportunity of thanking you for your very kind letter, which I have this moment received, and to assure you at the same time that I do most fully agree with you in your observations concerning the line in politics which the members of the Royal Family ought to take. This has always been my principle since I entered the House of Lords, and I am fully convinced that George will follow my example.
I must also add that I have felt the great advantage of supporting the Government, and I have by that always been well with all Parties, and have avoided many difficulties which other members of my family have had to encounter.
I shall not fail to communicate your letter to George, who will, I trust, never prove himself unworthy of the kindness you have shown him.
With the request that you will remember me most kindly to Albert, I remain, my dearest Victoria, your most affectionate Uncle,
Adolphus.
