"From King Leopold I of Belgium to Queen Victoria"
My dear child, I have no doubt that Viscount Melbourne will do everything he can to serve you. He is currently in an ideal position, having been somewhat awkward during the previous king's reign, but now he can gain your trust and sincere support. If the results of this election are favorable to the Melbourne Cabinet, it will grant them sufficient strength.
In addition, please do your utmost to win over the numerous moderate Tories, who by nature and viewpoint, have always been reliable and ideal supporters of the British Royal Family. At the same time, you must be continually wary of the adverse effects caused by the two extreme factions within the Whig and Tory Parties; whether it be the Radical Liberal Party or the extreme Conservative Party, both are unfavorable to your rule.
Here, I wish to mention a key figure whom you value greatly—Sir Arthur Hastings.
