Summary
Commenting on the political situation; saying "The atrocious conduct of Durham to Lord Grey is abominable - if it had not been for him I believe all would have gone well - the K & Grey have parted very good friends - he told him so & as a proof he agreed to make Lord F. Osborne & Dundas Peers as it was always a great wish of Lord Grey to do so - He, the K. also speaks well of Brougham - you can have no Idea of the state every thing is in & the fright of every creature - Lord Lyndhurst is to settle the new Ministry - he is clever but wants character but has been chosen - suppos'd to be of no particular party - I hope the K. will send a proclamation & state his conduct which if properly known will be the best way to convince people that he has not acted a double part.
