Evidence:
3 April 1854: 'At Basingstoke I got The Times, where I expected to find a very violent tirade against Henry Layard [Lady Charlotte's cousin, an M.P.], but the article was very mild and weak. He made a very strong speech on Friday night on moving of the address to the Queen on the occasion of the war, and his remarks were in denunciation of Lord Aberdeen and Lord Clarendon. I think the speech told, and I feel he was right [...] Many think he was imprudent; but one may weigh every word and every expression till one becomes a nonentity like the greater part of the rest of the world.'
