The Comptroller of the Household read Her Majesty's Gracious Answer to tine humble Address of the 23rd May—
I have received your Address praying that I will be graciously pleased to give directions that the remains of the Right Honourable William Ewart Gladstone be interred at the public charge, and that a monument be erected in the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminster, with an inscription expressive of the public admiration and attachment, and of the high sense entertained of his rare and splendid gifts and his devoted labours in Parliament and in great offices of State, and assuring me that you will make good the expenses attending the same.
And I will give directions in accordance with your address.
