It would be useless to pretend that either [Sir Anthony] or any of those successors who may one day follow him in office, will ever, for me, be able to hold the place of my first Prime Minister, to whom my husband and I owe so much. And for whose wise guidance, during the early years of my reign, I shall always be so profoundly grateful. I will remember you always for your magnanimity, your courage at all times, and for your unfailing humor; founded in your unrivaled mastery of the English language. I take comfort from the fact that in losing my constitutional adviser, I gain a wise counselor to whom I shall look for help and support in the days which lie ahead. May there be many of them.
