DEATH OF MR SHEIL
Buckingham Palace, 2nd June 1851.
The Queen will see the Judge Advocate on Saturday at three.
The place of the late Mr Mill is already filled up.
Mr Sheil's death is very sudden, and must be a great shock to his family....
We go to Windsor this afternoon to stay till Friday. We hope that Lord John Russell's little girl is going on quite well.
The Queen has had good accounts from the dear Princess of Prussia from Coblentz. Her letter is full of England, her great happiness here, and her great sorrow at having left it. The Princes have expressed the same, so this dangerous journey has gone off without one single unpleasant circumstance, which is very gratifying.
The Prince and Prince Frederic are gone to Berlin, where the statue of Frederic the Great was to be inaugurated yesterday.
Queen Victoria to Lord John Russell.
Buckingham Palace, 18th June 1851.
