HL Deb 18 March 1881 vol 259 c1350

The Queen's answer to the Address of Tuesday last reported as follows:

I THANK you sincerely for your loyal and dutiful Address:

I share the indignation and deep concern which you have expressed at the assassination of My relative and ally His late Imperial Majesty the Emperor of All the Russias:

I shall take care to convey to His Imperial Majesty the present Emperor of All the Russias the abhorrence which, in common with Myself, you feel at the detestable crime, and the sympathy which it has called forth for the Imperial family of Russia and also for the Government and people of that country.
