Summary
Finding that "the Q. intends that there sh'd be a Minister to follow me : & as she leaves on 3rd Nov. it w'd be scarcely worth while for one to come later than Saturday, Oct. 24, in w'ch case I c'd leave on the 22'd. I think you said you w'd like the 24th & I have written to Disraeli to suggest this: & if you continue of a mind to come, it w'd be as well to write at once to him & to apprise him of your readiness."
