TitleLetter to Viscount Mandeville, from Sir William Hylton Jolliffe, Cavendish Square [London]
DescriptionDiscussing the war in Crimea and thanking Mandeville for the letters, which he showed Disraeli. Things look bad and they may congratulate themselves that they are not in office with a vote of no confidence. The best military opinions believe that the garrison at Sebastopol has been relieved and they are as far from taking it as ever. There will be much dissatisfaction in the country and the disasters of Aberdeen and Palmerston will soon be felt. "Beyond all doubt, we are in a fix."
